Title: United States Senate Redistricting 2012 Post by: Gass3268 on October 10, 2012, 01:02:01 PM I’ve been working on this for almost over a year, so I am really happy to finally present it to an audience. Yes I know this would never happen and this is extremely ASB, but isn't that the point of these what-ifs?
United States Senate Redistricting 2011 () In the early 2000’s there were rumbles being made in the state houses and governor mansions in larger populated states of the union about how it wasn’t fair that they only got to send two Senators to Washington D.C. while even the smallest populated states also got to send two Senators to the Nations Capitol. In 2003 a conference was arraigned for the ten highest populated states in the country at the time. This included California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey and Georgia. There at this conference, the representatives of these ten states came up with the idea for a constitutional amendment that involve creating 100 Senate regions across the country. Each region would elect one Senator to the United States Senate. A bi-partisan commission would convene for the first time in 2011 after the new Census data came out to create the map. Their goals would be to try to create as fair as a map as possible, create minority-majority seats were it was possible and include Washington D.C. The map would then take effect for the 2012 elections. After the amendment was released to the public there were mass protests against it from many of the extremely small states like Wyoming, Vermont and Alaska. When the amendment was introduced in the house it passed with flying colors as all of the Representatives from large states voted for the bill. Yet in the Senate it was much harder to get the 67% necessary to approve the amendment. With a little be of arm-twisting and some promises, they were able to over the necessary 67%. The amendment then went to the states were it was immediately passed by the largest 15 states, but getting the other necessary 19 states was a struggles. With the use of threats, rewards and straight up bribes the amendment passed its last state necessary in mid 2004 when Utah state legislature voted in favor. In 2011 the commission met and they heard from testimony from interested parties from all over the country. Before drawing they decided that each region would have 3 names and a number. One would be after a famous American hero/leader from that region, the second would be the largest city/neighborhood in that region and the third would be a geographical name for the region. They then began drawing the lines and in January of 2012 they released their map. Title: Re: United States Senate Redistricting 2011 Post by: Gass3268 on October 10, 2012, 01:06:02 PM First Senate region should be posted later this afternoon or tonight. I'll first post a little bio on each 100 of the regions, then I'll go back into a timeline format describing the 2012 election cycle.
Also because of the lack of Kerry-Bush numbers in DRA, my PVI is made up by averaging Obama numbers with the Average Dem numbers given by DRA or calculated by me in cases where the average Dem score is absent on DRA. I then take that number and subtract the Obama-Kerry average to get PVI. Not exactly correct, but good enough for me!

Title: Re: United States Senate Redistricting 2012 Post by: Gass3268 on October 11, 2012, 01:33:28 AM The goal for the New York City regions were to create 2 minority majority districts and 1 white district comprised of just the immediate New York City area. I was trying to keep the city together as much as possible. I was able to make a minority-majority district in just Brooklyn and Queens and another on with the Bronx, Harlem, Newark and other parts of New Jersey. The one white district got the rest of the area (Lower Manhattan, Staten Island, the rest of Brooklyn, the rest of Queens and a sliver of New Jersey).

Title: Re: United States Senate Redistricting 2012 Post by: OAM on October 11, 2012, 02:04:49 AM Ooo, very interesting. I will be following closely, and hope for an interesting district. I actually wrote a constitution one time for what I'd ideally have as a form of government in the United States, and it had cross state districts too. This is the only other example of it I've seen, and mine were only "when absolutely needed", not at every turn.

Also the residency rule for this scenario is that a candidate can run in any region that is apart of their home state. That means that Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio can run in any of Florida's 7 regions. I'm guessing that Bill Nelson will stay in the Orlando region while Rubio will probably run in the Port St. Lucie region. Title: Re: United States Senate Redistricting 2012 Post by: OAM on October 16, 2012, 09:37:08 AM For this one time, or always?
Title: Re: United States Senate Redistricting 2012 Post by: Gass3268 on October 16, 2012, 09:51:37 AM That will always be the case, but it will be harder for canidates to do that in the future without appearing to be a carpetbagger. In the case of Rubio, he'd be able to run in the Port St. Lucie region with ease because that area of the state likes him and even though he'd lose his Cuban base in Miami, he wouldn't have deal with the very liberal voters.
