A Commonsense Arkansas.

Would you support this map over the current one? I definitely would. The representation of the state (most probably 3-1) and pvi of each district is much more logical than the current one, there are no county splits at all, and population deviations are minimal. What do you think Atlas?

This would've been the smart thing for Democrats to draw in 2011.

nah, kinda cuts Ross out of the picture.

here you go-



This is a fair map that dems should have drawn. Saves Ross probably (even Blanche won it IIRC) and the Little Rock District is more dem then it is rn.

Nah.  The Little Rock metro area has too many unnecessary splits

My map splits it into 3 different CD’s, the current one also splits it into 3 different CD’s. At least be upright with it and say the real reason which we both know.

Which is?  The current map is a White Dem gerrymander to prevent a Black Democrat from being elected, but it's possible to correct that with less than 3 splits in the Little Rock metro.

Fair enough, but my map splits little rock metro into 3 parts just like the current map. So that can't be a fair thing to say you would not want this map more than the current one because of that. Because they are the same in that sense. There has to be another reason. Maybe it's because you want a 4-0 map?

The current map is hideous.

I voted for your map, because yours is not hideous.

That doesn't mean your map is a good map.

See, this is a fair point, thank you.
