Redistricting 101

Basic information - not polemics; So you can talk and testify with knowledge

Not the best presentation of this and actually starts a minute in. If I get a better one, I’ll put it in. I will be repeating this openly on Tuesday (I hope I present it better and get some of the new maps in). If interested, or know anyone interested, send an email to antigerrymander@gmail.com

Hopes this helps you prepare for the hearing coming on August 1. Get your testimony (especially your electronic testimony) in NOW

For anyone wondering why I didn’t post recently - writing this is part of the reason. Also researching how lowering a tax can raise the taxes for all but the top 20%. Post on that coming soon (teaser)
