Rosalind Cox
This map creates the most majority-minority districts. Do not use as it is very unfair.
Patricia Banner
This map does not represent where we work, spend our time or our money. Include us with Fenton as we live in the Fenton school district.
Peter Bane
Kellom offers the most minority-majority districts, which may please some, but overall it is very partisan and will ensure control of the Senate by the minority party. Do not use it unmodified. There are better maps.
Carolyn M Mayne
Keep Midland County whole
Tim Brewer
I don't think it makes sense to connect Ann Arbor with Jackson like this i believe palm is a better map
Kathy A Swartz
Kellom is not a good option, Palm is the better option. Urban areas of Jackson county should not be combined with Washtenaw county as this does not keep communities of interest together.
Marie Colombo
This map is terrible on partisan fairness. Please do not approve.
M Dame
I am very disappointed in the State Senate maps presented. I have to agree with SOOO many people who stated the maps have been gerrymandered to falsely promote “political fairness” while at the same time dismissing “communities of interest”. This experiment in “redistricting” is proving to be a farce. I have to agree with the masses who believe your prioritizing process has been unconstitutional and I hope these maps are challenged in court.
Scott William Miller
Keep Midland County whole.
David Johnson
Keep Midland and Gladwin counties together and whole.
Brenda Guest
NO on the Kellom Senate Map as it slices up Midland County. Stop The Slice. Stop Gerrymandering!
Anne Van Hulle
Midland City should remain in Midland County as a whole and together with Gladwin County. Focus on the needs of the PEOPLE.
Dennis Quehl
Unfortunately, a bad ulterior motive behind this map. The only reason to split up Midland County from being contiguous, and having a better COI, is for the purpose of gerrymandering. Do not split up Midland County.
R & B Keenan
Keep Midland city and county with like communities. Representation voices the community’s needs and isn’t about political correctness or political advantage. Use common sense. This is not a map which represents like communities
Gaye Terwillegar
Stop slicing up Midland County!!!
Chris Moultrup
The City of Midland needs to remain with the County of Midland. We are one community of interest.
Nomi Joyrich
Thank you for creating a competitive district in the Midland area.
Nomi Joyrich
This map creates the most majority-minority districts. But it has a terrible partisan fairness score and will virtually guarantee victories by the party which receives the fewest votes.
MARGARET M GILLEAN
NOT good enough for our people
Marie DeLuca
I don't understand why these communities were grouped together. I would be interested in the criteria used.
Mike Scott
Keep Midland County whole. Not a good map.
Justin Scott
Stop tearing Midland County apart. This is partisan gerrymandering and it needs to stop.
Jane Scott
Please stop cutting up the county of Midland! Leave us whole to work on the issues we share across our county and with the western counties, most importantly the multi million dollar, multi year dam recovery projects!
Larry Schuelke
Please don't select this map. Keep Midland, Sanford and Gladwin whole and in one district like in the Lange map. 2020 was enough of a disaster for us, we don't need this districting map too.
Mary Ann Allore
This map is terrible. It does not keep Jackson County together as a community of interest despite the comments made by so many citizens at the public hearings to do so. It also connects us with the urban city of Ann Arbor that does not share common communities with rural Jackson County. Please keep to the promises made to us back in 2018 – follow the Communities of Interest submitted by the people of Michigan.
Kelly Schrubba
Again, please reject this map. It is splitting a common area and diffusing the vote. It has a terrible partisan fairness score and will virtually guarantee victories only by minority of the voters.
Kelly Schrubba
REJECT this map, please. It has a terrible partisan fairness score and will virtually guarantee victories by the party which receives the fewest votes.
Kelly Schrubba
This is not a good map, it is splitting up this area and cannot possibly reflect the voters in a partisan manner.
Kelly Schrubba
Please reject this map. It cannot possibly support the majority of voters with the way it is splitting communities.
Kelly Schrubba
Please reject this map. It is splitting areas and unfair.
Rebecca S Smith
Need to keep Midland with counties to the west and keep it WHOLE.
Joseph Lunsford
This map fractures Midland County and makes the least sense. Almost 55 years in Midland County and I would like to continue to share interests with friends and family to the north and west.
James Cameron Hart
This map does not appear to promotes communities of interest. It appears to blatantly promote large urban areas, and go out of its way to discourage smaller rural areas from participating in the election process. Please consider the PALM map.
Connie
This map has poor partisan fairness scores and should not be used. The Constitution requires that partisan fairness be prioritized.
Jennifer Majorana
Please listen to the many voices on this portal begging for fair representation! Midland county should not be sliced and diced up. Families in the city of Midland and Midland/Gladwin counties have so much more in common with education, the watershed, law enforcement, etc., than the city of Midland does with Saginaw or Bay City. Midlanders are asking you for fair representation, please. Thank you for your hard work and we are trusting you to do the right thing.
J Michael Dizer
I dislike this map because it splits Midland County and separates the City of Midland from the rest of the county. It also combines Midland with Saginaw which have little in common with each other.
Kathleen Thorrez
I Dislike this map, it connects us to the city of Ann Arbor which we have little in common and would not provide representation for the rural farm towns which Jackson supports.
Michelle Wilbur
I dislike this map as cuts off eastern Jackson county, but ties us to Ann Arbor, which we have little in common.
Christa Krohn
Please do not slice up Midland County.
Jon Lynch
Dividing Midland County makes no sense
Mary Lou McEwan
This state senate map slices up Midland County. Keep Midland City connected to Midland County and Gladwin County. No Gerrymandering.
Francis A McEwan
This state senate map slices up Midland County. Keep Midland City connected to Midland County and Gladwin County. No Gerrymandering.
Aaron Majorana
This is a bad map because it combines Midland with Bay City, and Saginaw. As someone who lives in Midland, travels to Saginaw for work and visits Bay City often, there is absolutely nothing in common with these communities and Midland. Midland County deserves a unified voice.
MARCIA BLACKSON
Keep Midland City with it's county and North and Western Neighbors. This makes no sense as you don't need the added population to the already really big cities.
David E Keple
Not a fair map for my community
Daniel Kozakiewicz
I do not support this map.
Cindy Kallgren
Worst Map yet for Downriver. Chopped us up like Hamburger. Who is the Brainbleed who designed this! Awful! No No No. Keep Downriver Communities together.
Cindy Kallgren
Keep Midland/Gladwin Whole.
Amanda Oster
Keep Midland County whole!
Carole J Chi
Terrible map! People across the street would be in another district! Really?! Doesn't make any sense. Pick LINDEN Senate Map instead, for it makes more sense and exhibits partisan fairness which is what PROP 2 was all about! Pick the LINDEN Senate Map. Thank you!
Drew Wagener
Hard to relate to the mind that could create the rubbish that the Kellom Map illustrates.... Not just a no, but this one should just be thrown off the list!
Connie
This map is not fair. Partisan fairness must be prioritized.
Daniel Schifko
This map does not represent communities of interest.
Quinn Whittaker
It is completely unnecessary to divide Dearborn into two separate districts.
Rebecca Mayer
I do not like this map as it divides rural Jackson County with Ann Arbor which are very different in structure.
Carly Moran
Once again, a very bizarre and unnecessary divide of Hillsdale County as I saw in other maps when the needs are the county are very homogenous (rural, older population). So far, my favorite would have to be Palm.
Melitz Mike
Dislike
david Berry
I really do not like the KELLUM map because it does not keep Lenawee County whole, and string the Ann Arbor area way out into the country/farming areas. These areas need a voice that reflects the "rural" area, not the "urban" Ann Arbor sound. Please don't adopt this map. The PALM map is much better. Thank you.
Kathi Harris
This map does not does not represent people in Michigan well.
Stephen Stackable
Again dividing Midland city and Midland county into different districts, and separating it from the counties to the north and west which have similar interests.
Emily Jernberg
This map creates the most majority-minority districts. But it has a terrible partisan fairness score and will virtually guarantee victories by the party which receives the fewest votes.
Elizabeth Bonner
I prefer Palm
Jim Lax
I disapprove of this map. Kent County is fragmented in this map, and one district connects southern Kent County to Benton Harbor/St. Joseph for no particular reason. The Commission has yet to come up with an acceptable State Senate map for Kent County.
Clifford Johnson
Kellom doesn't look good when checked for balance and fairness. Please choose Cherry or Linden.
Margaret Weber
This map should be rejected for partisan unfairness. The map will virtually guarantee victories by the party which receives the fewest votes.
Barbara Eglinton
This map has a terrible partisan fairness score.
Sharon Buttry
This map breaks up the Detroit Hamtramck Coalition for Advancing Healthy Environments. District 1 should include the area north of 94 to keep the area of interest intact.
Connie
Palm is an unfair map. Linden is a better map.
Nancy Mroczkowski
This is not a good map for Michigan overall in regard to voter representation. District lines are drawn such that rural population areas disproportionately dominate many districts including cities. Please do not use this map
Anne Wallin
I appreciate that this map has kept the cities of Midland, Bay City and Saginaw together. That is important to me and leads me to prefer this map for my interests. But I am concerned about how that then impacts partisan fairness in other districts. Competitive districts and upholding the requirements of the Voting Rights Act are critical components as well.
Lisa P LaGrou
I dislike this map. This is not a good redistricting plan; it does not promote partisan fairness.
Kathy McClinchey
I dislike this map. I encourage you to keep Jackson and Washtenaw counties separate as they are very different in needs and interests.
Donna Farris
Fairness of this map not good for Michigan compared to the others. This will be just as bad as current Senate district maps. Area around Grand Rapids is divided well. Please do not select this map because of the unfairness for Michigan
Jennifer Austin
I do like this senate district for the Tri-Cities, but the partisan fairness scores are not better than Cherry or Linden. I prefer Linden as the senate map choice.
David J Houck
I do not support this map. No business being in the same district as Ann Arbor.
Cary Fleischer
This map is subject to heavy partisan bias. Please do not select this map.
Patrick Richardson
I do not like the Kellom State Senate map. It divides Jackson County and combines rural areas of Jackson county, which is rural in character, with densely populated areas in Washtenaw County, including half the city of Ann Arbor . Ann Arbor has public utilities, widely available broadband, and public transportation. Most rural areas don’t have these public services (and don’t need them). These different communities have different needs and require different legislative representation. Please adopt instead the “Palm” State Senate map. It keeps Jackson County whole and combines it with more rural sections of adjoining Counties. Thank you.
Karen Weideman
This map creates the most majority-minority districts. But it has a terrible partisan fairness score and will virtually guarantee victories by the party which receives the fewest votes.
Dorothy Munson
Seems as if this map would provide poor representation for Michigan overall. Similar to the maps currently being used for the Michigan Senate
David Hopkinson
Fails on fairness. Partisan bias is worse that Linden and Cherry. Important effort to improve districts in and around Detroit.
Claire Ott
Terrible Partisan fairness score. Please rework this!!!
Michael Cameron
I do not like the Kellom State Senate map because it combines rural areas with the city of Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor has vastly different resources and services than rural areas do and therefore need different representation.
Erin MacGregor
Whatever happened to keeping the districts as square as possible? Isn't that supposed to be a main goal when redistricting occurs? Why is it assumed that people have the same interests/opinions just because they are the same race or ethnicity? That's an offensive assumption. This map is a terrible mess.
Drew Beckman
I am not a fan of this configuration for Sterling Heights. While this map does take into account important communities in Detroit and Wayne county, it appears to sacrifice partisan fairness to achieve this goal.
Vernon Butler
The Northend and Boston Edison should stay with Hamtramck and the Eastside of Detroit. Cornerstone village would fit better in the lower eastside district.
Sharon Houck
The Kellom Senate May is Not a good choice. It divides Jackson County and combines it with Ann Arbor. How is this fair? These two diverse communities require opposite legislative representation and this Map should be discarded. The Palm State Senate Map is a much better choice. Thank you
Deandre M
Prop 2 promised to end drawing lines for political reasons, or gerrymandering. This map makes it even worse by breaking up united communities for blatant political purposes. This map is not TRULY fair to both parties like we were promised.
Michael Novak
District is stretched out from Detroit to the southern border. It looks unusual.
Chris Wingate
Do not like the division in my county. Splits up communities of interest. Palm is the best option.
Kim K Lindsey
This map has way too many illogical divisions and is not suitable. The Palm map is a much better choice.
Terri McCormick
The east side of Troy is heavily diverse. these voices will be drowned out in a mostly Macomb district. Please keep Troy whole. The Szetela map is far better for Troy's COI. Thank you
Penny K Wingate
I absolutely do not like the division of Hillsdale County, and also seeing Ann Arbor divided. This is complete gerrymandering! This does NOT respect comunities of interest. I'm agreeing to Palm only.
Jay R Taylor
Terrible split of Oakland County just to please and reward Democrat strongholds. Need to keep large cities intact and have smaller townships intact.
Constance Lippert
The partisan fairness score is unacceptable on this map. Please choose the Cherry V2
Brian
Don't split Ann Arbor into Jackson
Suzanne L Zavala
District 5 is not good representation for Wyandotte and the other Downriver communities. To be lumped in with Detroit will generally make it more difficult for Downriver to get representation.
Lisa Lamancusa
Not impressed with the partisan fairness of this map for Michigan overall.
Yim Kong
Not partisan fair for Asians or Michigan. Please choose the Linden.
Yim Kong
Not partisan fair for Asians or Michigan. Please choose the Linden.
Deandre M
Any map that Splits Ann Arbor is an insult to the people of Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Michigan. Creating a democratic majority at the expense of communities of interest is a joke.
Pat Dawson
This map is not fair for Michigan voters. Not any better than the current district Gerrymandered Senate map. City folks won’t be represented well. Linden is the best.
Dan Fox
Cherry and Linden are both better than Kellom.
Matthew D. Horwitt
The Kellom map has more partisan bias. It makes it less likely that the party with the most votes wins the seats. I want fairness, not bias. Please do not adopt this map.
Sam Chu
This map is not fair representation for Michigan or our Asian area. Linden map has the best districts.
Zach Rudat
Please keep Clinton County whole
Bruce Roller
This map is not partisan fair for Michigan
Susan Andrews
This map is less fair than Cherry or Linden. It is better than Palm or Lange
Allen Salyer
Do not split Troy, Michigan in half.
Karen Lawrence
This is an unfair partisan map for West Michigan and the state as a whole. This map has similar effects to the current district Gerrymandered Senate map. It dilutes the influence of large population Grand Rapids metro city areas by combining with rural townships in Barry, Allegan and Ionia Counties. These townships do not want to be in the same district with Grand Rapids city as well. Better to go with Linden or Cherry V2 to better represent all these areas.
Mollie Schairer
Does not respect communities of interest. I live in rural Saline Twp. Western Jackson County extending to eastern Washtenaw?! Do your duty under the MI Constitution and respect communities of interest.
Mollie Schairer
Again, this map does not respect communities of interest. I live in rural Washtenaw Co. District 16 extending from western Jackson Co. to eastern Washtenaw will DISENFRANCHISE voters. Do your duty under the Michigan Constitution and respect communities of interest.
Alan P
Seriously? Breaking up Jackson and Ann Arbor? What community of interest can justify that?! Answer = none. This is ridiculous.
Cal Morton
I agree with Kristine S Detmers comment posted in Michigan State House Pine V5 map, "... All these maps should have been drawn with a color blind eye and based on population alone! Gerrymandering at its worse!". The data shown in these maps should have only provided the "Total Population" and the "Voting Age Population". All other numbers are injecting race and ethnicity which overlooks the most important fact, "We are ALL Americans"!
Kristine Yeutter
Your constitutional duty is to consider communities of interest. This map divides our rural voices with that of metropolitan areas. We ask for fairness, not divisions with attempts to divide us and give unfair advantage to big cities. Please consider the PALM map, which allows our rural voices to have fair representations.
Kathleen Goodin
This splits Troy so much, our votes will not count.
Don Bishop
Map addresses concerns in the Detroit area , but is less fair for the Lansing tri-county area .
Carrie Hatcher-Kay
This map is does NOT achieve partisan fairness. It will assure victories for the party with the least votes.
Nomi Joyrich
terrible partisan fairness score
Nomi Joyrich
This map does the best job of creating minority-majority districts. But it has a terrible partisan fairness score
Sue Macrellis
This map leaves western Jackson County completely split off from the rest of the county and then wierdly extends into Washtenaw County and Ann Arbor and a little projection to the north like a child's drawing of a boxy, long snouted dog. (Sorry, that was the closest description I could conjure.) Whatever is the creator of this map was trying to achieve, it was not to keep communities of interest intact.
Bill Richardson
I do not like the Kellom State Senate map. It divides Jackson County, which is mostly rural, and combines it with half of the city of Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor has public utilities, widely available broadband, and public transportation. Most rural areas have none of these things. These different communities have different needs and require different legislative representation. Please adopt instead the “Palm” State Senate map. It does a much better job of satisfying the ‘communities of interest’ objective of this committee. Thank you.
Ruth A Kell
Of all the Senate Districts, this is the worst for me. How can you split my city of Troy and stick my portion into an otherwise, completely Macomb County district? Eastern Troy does not share more interests with Macomb County than it does with its other Troy neighbors. This map makes no sense from a COI point of view.
JEFFREY YEUTTER
This map does not align with the "communities of interest" principle as well as the Palm map. Too much combining of rural and metropolitan areas. Looks like lots of gerrymandering to favor the Democrat Party it appears. I thought the commission was about "people and not politics".
Catherine Upton
I do not like the Kellom State Senate map. It turns its back on the rural residents of Jackson County by dividing it and combines it with half of the city of Ann Arbor. I thought the commissions objective was to at least avoid the appearance of gerrymandering! Ann Arbor has public utilities, widely available broadband, and public transportation. Most rural areas have none of these things. These different communities have different needs and require different legislative representation. Please adopt instead the “Palm” State Senate map. It does a much better job of satisfying the ‘communities of interest’ objective of this committee. Thank you.
VANESSA MULNIX
Do not use this map. Totally cut off from my COI.
Richard Michalski
Does not create as many competitive districts as Palm proposed plan.
Anna Hicks
This map completely turns its back on the rural residents of Jackson County. This committee was put in place to take the politics out of redistricting. This map puts the politics right back in. Say yes to the PALM map.
Ronda VanStempvoort
Jackson County should not be split in this manner. This leaves the rural residents of Jackson County totally in the cold. No one to represent their interests. Please do not vote for this map. Thank you.
Paul Hauglie
I dislike this map. It does not keep Jackson county whole and needlessly divides it. Jackson county should never be lumped into the same district as Ann Arbor, unless gerrymandering is the goal.
Sarah Abbott
Kellom's map still defies the jackson voice by splitting ann arbor. This is unfair to both communities, who should both have their own voice. There is no community of interest argument for such a bizarre split.
Richard Wochoski
It must be hard to draw a map. Without some guidance, such as the partisan voting map from the last presidential election. Maybe it's just coincidence, but in District 9, the political leaning of the eastward voters in Troy would be completely cancelled out by the rightward voters in Sterling Heights. If bringing partisanship back to the process is the point, this is the map for you.
Lindsey Brayton
This map is not balanced and unfairly represents urban areas
Cynthia Richardson
I do not like the Kellom State Senate map. It divides Jackson County and combines rural areas of Jackson County with half of the City of Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor has more public service offerings, widely available broadband, and public transportation. Most rural areas, like Waterloo Township, have none of these things. Rural communities have VERY different needs and require different legislative representation. Please use the PALM State Senate map. It better represents my community. Thank you.
Brian Boyer
This proposed map unnecessarily combines Jackson County with other neighboring areas greatly enlarging the population of our current Community of Interest. Please do adopt this map.
Russ Jennings
Do not like
Doug Swartz
The Kellom State Senate map combines rural areas of Jackson County way too much with the urban area of Washtenaw County. I am disappointed to see how unfair these map options are for those of us living here in Jackson County. This map appears to have been designed to drown out our rural Jackson voice as the Senate representatives would be too busy bending to the specialized needs, demands, and ultimately ‘dollars’ of Washtenaw County. Please do not adopt this map. The alternate Palm State Senate is the better choice. Thank you.
Jackie Leslie
This map is not good for Jackson County as a whole
Donald
Keep Ann Arbor/Washtenaw separate from Jackson Co.
Jennifer Biddinger
PALM is a better map, which includes our western communities in Jackson Co. We DO NOT HAVE COMMON INTERESTS WITH ANN ARBOR. Please give us fair representation!
Bernard Allore
City folks don't understand the issues and needs of farming communities. This map lumps urban and rural areas together and this will leave farmers without a voice because there is such a lack of ties to agriculture today. Please keep Jackson County together in one district. I am a senior citizen and I rely on services in my community of Jackson. Thank you.
Barbara Dame
This maps splits up Jackson County and the community of interest it serves! Priority should be based on community of interest. This is partisan gerrymandering. Please remember that the law states that districts should not provide a disproportionate advantage for any political party.
Caron Maria Wootten
Once again this map hurts our most vulnerable by not keeping our alligned relationship with Hillsdale county for those that depend on the services of our Region 2 Department of Aging and Lifeways Community Mental Health.
CATHERINE BROCKINGTON
This map divides one of the smaller top ranked school Districts (Saugatuck Public Schools) into two different senate districts. Moving the northern line up to the Ottawa/Allegan County line would correct this issue. The Allegan County Saugatuck area is a neighbor of Holland and Ottawa County, but our community issues are as different as night and day. Please move the Allegan County Laketown Township and Saugatuck Township areas out of District 31 and into District 20
Dr. Adam Duberstein
This is the only map that doesn't break off Hazel Park and Madison Heights from other similar communities. While I wish Hazel Park and Ferndale were together, this will do.
TIMOTHY DEBLAEY
I thought we were trying to escape the imprisonment of political gerrymandering. Totally ignores the economic needs and opportunities of the southwestern shoreline.
Ulanda Charise Caldwell
I am sorry but this map is not a good coverage of the voting block/constituents.
D Caruso
This map disconnects from the other LSC communities. Not a good map.
Patrick Maguire
Salem Township should be associated with Lyon Twp and South Lyon, as opposed to Ann Arbor, Plymouth and Northville. The majority of Salem Twp is South Lyon Schools. Most residents of the township would consider themselves part of the South Lyon area (especially since most have a South Lyon address). They go to South Lyon/Lyon Township for shopping, dining, church, etc.
Md. Asif Hasan
Not a good one for our community.
Angelo D Guarnieri
Sorry, but this map is garbage.
Christopher Khorey
Something is wrong in the partisan fairness excel document, because it has District 2 as 85% Democratic, which is definitely not the case.
Joe Fresard
This breaks up a COI with very strong support, and also crosses municipal boundaries more than necessary. Districts like #4 look as badly gerrymandered as anything we have currently.
