This map is isolating democratically "safe" districts to try to gain advantage for republicans in surrounding districts
Carl D. Hill
Great map! Keep North Woodward together!!!
Jasmin g
This is a good district for birmingham
Chris Gilmer-Hill
This map does the best job of protecting black COIs in wayne and oakland without stringing disconnected black cities together into a racial gerrymander
Carrie Hatcher-Kay Ph.D.
Please approve this map! It's not as great as Heron, but it is fair. It is consistent with the original reason we chose to take on redistricting in Michigan -- and the way we became a model to the nation: partisan fairness. Thank you, commissioners, for being leaders in fairness. You can make a difference for Michigan for years and years to come by choosing fairness!
Carrie Hatcher-Kay Ph.D.
I like this map for partisan fairness. Heron is a better choice, but this is okay, and especially important for Detroit neighborhoods that share common interests and needs to be served by the same representative.
Sarisha
Mmm no thanks. I'm having a hard time following the community of interest logic that went into this one.
Beth
If the commission wanted a map that adequately represented Detroit's interests, they would have done the Michigan State MSU map or the Cardinal or Finch maps, which were based off of the input from the house map that everyone agreed upon. This one does not live up to that standard. COIs matter, just not to this map for some reason
Liz Moss
Should Lincoln Park be with people right up next to Harper Woods? Should Livonia be included with neighborhoods by Dearborn? Should Eastpointe be with Sterling Heights? Should Detroit precincts near Belle Isle be with Clay Township? Nahh. This map doesn't even try to do communities of interest or listen to what people want. It is like a random computer spit this out.
Dash Wideman
Detroit city outvoted by suburbs again on this map. Doing same bad thing again
Dash Wideman
Waterford to Royal Oak is uh different. Definitly not a community of interest
Dash Wideman
I know people forget about Detroit. But this looks not good. It is all choppy and random. These neighborhood combos are different. Neighborhoods like each other should be the same map not this.
H. Jarbour
How does Huron belong with Canton and Westland and not their downriver neighbors? That doesn't make any sense, and does not follow community of interest at all.
Hanna
Question: how does connecting Detroit city with people way out in Saint Clair make any sense?
Answer: it doesn't. This map has no desire to follow communities of interest.
Sarah Abbott
This map destroys communities of interest. It hurts people in Detroit for the sake of lower criteria in the Michigan state Constitution. It should be rejected outright for not following the constitutional criteria and hurting COIs.
Justine True
I prefer something more similar to the Motown Sound map for Detroit that was so popular and that the courts and the commissioners approved of. This map seems to care less about communities of interest overall. Why else would you put the city of detroit folks with farming folks two counties north of here?
Justine True
I do not understand the alterations to Waterford to put them with Pontiac and other communities that are not similar. I also do not understand the grouping of Eastpointe with more outer suburban Macomb, or the strange concoction that is western Wayne county. This seems like a map that was drawn for partisan fairness goals, which is lower than communities of interest goals. That is simply wrong. This map does not respect communities of interest as the constitution says it should.
S. Mannan
This is meh for my community. But it would be better with all of my home of Sterling Heights and Troy with Rochester. It's not ideal this way. Either leave that old district alone or unite all of my home with a chaldean district.
Deq Martin
pontiac ppl with bloomfeld but not southfeld? dumb.
Deq Martin
this mapper never been to detroit. neghbrhoods dont make no sense for the ppl!!
Deq Martin
the mappers ever been to detroit? what do ppl in these nghbrhoods have to do with ppl way up by saint clare???
Al Abdou
This is discriminating against the Arab American community by not giving them the areas that include their people. Please don't silence their voices, and please pick a different map.
Al Abdou
This discriminates against the African American parts of Detroit by including them with the lakeshore 12th district. This is what got us into this legal mess in the first place and will drown out their voices... again.
Timothy King
I live in the 6th district and like this version of the district, very similar to the Szetela map and to the current lines. This map may be the strongest in terms of VRA/Opportunity Districts with 4 definite primary election opportunity districts. In terms of partisan fairness, I counted 3 genuine toss up districts (50-51% democratic leaning) vs. 0 toss up districts on the Republican side. There is potential for a 19-19 partisan split in a close election. I notice the river hugging eastside district that prioritizes that particular COI over city/county political boundaries, well done!
Lauren Ruth Johnson
This map has a high partisan fairness score and is good for the black community.
Abed Ayoub
This map preserves the communities of interest in District 2 - the Arab, Muslim population in the cities of Dearborn, Dearborn Heights and surrounding municipalities.
Darryl Conliffe
This map is fair and keeps Farmington & Farmington Hills together.
Katie Olsson
One of only 3 maps that score better than our current map drawn under the old gerrymandering method!
Katie Olsson
Good partisan fairness scores and VRA compliance.
Ralph Johnson
This one isn't bad, not the best, but ok in terms of partisan fairness.
Karen Holman
I could live with this map, not as good as Heron or Szetela for fairness, but acceptable for fairness.
Wendy Steadman
This map is the only one drawn by a person from Detroit. The author listened to all concerned voices in Detroit, and worked to solve them. This map will do that. Detroit voices need to be heard.
Judithe Stone
This map takes into account all of the issues of concern brought by the plaintiffs of the Lawsuit; it puts Detroit in a good position to have solid representation and a strong voice.
Robert McCraight
The City of Romulus favors this map as it keeps our community whole and in a district with communities similar to ours.
Robert Piper
This is a pretty good map, keeping communities with commonalities together. It is good for the voices of Detroit and has a good partisan fairness score.
Claudia Kraus Piper
This is a good map. It is good for the voices of Detroit. Although it is not as good as the Heron Map it does advocate for Detroiters.
Laurie Krauth
While this is not as good as Heron and 404, it does a great job for Detroit. It also keeps communities on the water together, which is important to me as a Detroit River kayaker.
Linda Kahn Gale
This is not as good as the Heron map or 404, but the partisan fairness is good for Detroit and I respect that.
Emily Jernberg
A pretty good map -- gives voice to Detroit neighborhoods and allows voice to the Bangladeshi community. 3rd best partisan fairness map. Not as good as Heron but a pretty good choice.
Jess Newman
I like that this map keeps communities together under the same representative that I think have the most in common based on demographics. I am glad Ferndale is grouped with Berkley, Madison, Heights, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, and much of Royal Oak because we share common concerns, common economic demographics, and common cultural concerns.
Ian Sandler-Bowen
I like how this map keeps Ferndale together with Pleasant Ridge, Berkley, Huntington Woods, Hazel Park, Madison Heights, and most of Royal Oak. I feel like our communities have a lot in common economically and culturally, and make more sense being together than split apart like some other configurations.
Lisa F Peers
This map is too broad and doesn't represent the Birmingham community well. Please do not use this map.
Chaldean Voices Matter
This is a very good map for the Chaldean community in district 9!
Lisa F Peers
While I prefer the Heron map, this is a good option for representing the interests of Birmingham residents.
Eve Mokotoff
This map does a good job representing Detroiters. It isn't as good as the Heron map but it is fair and non partisan which is the whole reason that we undertook redistricting. It is a good candidate to be selected.
Cory Joyrich
This map does a pretty good job representing the needs of Detroiters and features a high partisan fairness score. Please approve this map.
Anna Kristina Johnson
This is a fair partisan map and represents the black community. This is one of my 3 favorite maps. However, Heron is the ablsolute best in my opinion.
Leora Mira Druckman
This is a very good map of a key area.
Pam Shore
This map seems to provide fair representation for the different communities and interests of people in the Detroit area.
Janet Prange
LOVE this map. It is fair and puts my area in Commerce with the suburban Lake communities around us - not with the rural areas of western oakland county.
Brian L Burnett
Better scores on this map.
KRIS BUROW
This district has good scores and good partisan fairness.
Mary R
I appreciate the difficult task you have. Most of the maps appear to make little if any changes to my current Senate District 12, although a few may divide Grosse Pointe Park. If this is the case, it does not make sense for such a small community. It is important to keep the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods together as we share many educational/social/economic institutions.
Shannon Falkenhagen
I like this map. It is nonpartisan and represents the black community.
Lauren Lisi
I like this map, as well as the Heron and Szetela map, because like those maps, it has good partisan fairness. As I have previously stated when dropping my pin in the Heron map, COI is not very important to me. It doesn't matter much to me whether Huntington Woods is at the western end of the new Senate District or the eastern end of the new district.
Korey Morris
This is a great map for keeping communities in Downriver connected and as whole as possible. I appreciate Romulus and Taylor remaining whole.
Faye
This is a good option. It keeps the original district 9 for the Chaldean community as well as the original district 13. I also like how Huntington Woods and Berkly are included together with Royal oak going East. I like how the Pontiac district does not include Southfield and instead includes Waterford. This supports a COI of along M59 of working-class blue-collar people. I like how the districts in Detroit cross 8 mile slightly in district 3. It also scores well in partisan fairness. This is my 2nd choice after Cardinal.
james ward leyerle
Splitting Royal Oak seems like an un-needed breaking up of a definite CoI
Allegra Pitera
This is the 3rd choice map. Not as good as 376 o4 404, but better than the others.
Violet E. Anderson
This map takes into account the diverse communities in Detroit area and takes into account the surrounding suburban areas that surround this area. Keeping neighbors together in this map is good for the community.
Erica Brown Ackerman
This map is great at keeping Detroit neighborhoods together, but it is not as good as 404 or 376 in terms of partisan fairness. It's still a good map, though.
Deborah Kraus
This map is pretty good. It does a really good job with all of Detroit's constituencies/neighborhoods and has a decent partisan fairness score.
Nomi Joyrich
Does a good job keeping neighborhoods in Detroit together.
Shadia Martini
This is a good map for Detroit. Reasonably good on partisan balance.
Lori Orel
This map is good, and fair, for the most part.
Sharon Baseman
Like the Szetela map, I don't like the way this splits our part of Oakland County away and puts it with a large section of Macomb County. The Heron map does a much better job of keeping COI together in our part of Oakland County.
Kelly Goldberg
This map protects Detroit's neighborhoods from vote dilution from suburban votes.
Allen Ralph Wolf
This map does a great job for my neighborhood and is pretty decent on partisan fairness.
Amber Andrini
The failure of this "BK" map is that it does not do a good job of joining suburban COIs like the Arab community. It hurts other suburban COIs that have testified. What's so hard about hearing what the people want and how they want their communities of interest?
Rena Seltzer
This map has pretty good partison fairness, not quite as good as my top two choices, but I could live with this.
Frances E Chudnow
this map does a fair job at placing some communities together.
Vanna
This map is just as bad as the maps that were enacted and put the commission at risk of facing even more lawsuits. You should not be putting Detroiters with St. Clair County voters. Please respect our voice and protect our community of interest. Detroiters deserve a shot to elect leaders of our choice.
Ali R.
It’s incredibly infuriating that the commission is neglecting the need to protect the Arab vote. This blatant disregard for Arab voters is a betrayal of the promises made to ensure fair representation and equality. It's unacceptable that systemic disenfranchisement continues under these proposed maps.
Abby Schwartz
there are better maps to choose from
Elizabeth Buckner
This is another map that I seems more fair to all people
Shelia A.B.
The arabic communities have asked for a very clear, direct community that includes their people. This map does not include that at all. Other geographic communities are also not respected all across this map. In my opinion, this lack of respect for communities of interest may make this map unconstitutional.
Marie Kazanowski
This is a poor map for respecting communities of interest. It does not fulfill what the Taylor community, lakeshore community, chaldean community, arab community, and many others have asked for.
Eileen MacDonald
Demonstrates partisan fairness!
Nomi Joyrich
This map is pretty good. Has good partisan fairness. This is one of my favorite maps
Sherry B Trezise
Please do NOT adopt this map. On a statewide basis, we voters want a map which reflects partisan fairness....not bias toward either political party. This map does not do that.
Michaela Smith
This map does NOT support all of the ethnic communities and other communities of interest you heard all about when they made their voices heard. It does NOT support the downriver community of interest, does NOT support the LGBTQ community of interest, does NOT do as good of a job of supporting detroit neighborhoods, and does NOT NOT NOT support what the Arabic community wants.
Chris Andrews
This map adds to bias favoring Republicans. Voters want a map where the party with the most votes wins the most seats.
Eugene Laf
Again another map that has Detroit with St. Clair County.
Stephen Abbott
Harper woods and detroit dont belong in the grosse pointes map. This is not a good design for grouping communities and similarities.
Stephen Abbott
As someone who has lived in all three of the counties, this map doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It does not group likeminded communities together in parts of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb.
Karen Adams
Commerce Township is just thrown away into a rural area regardless of the interests of the residents of this very developed, suburban area.
Sarah Abbs
Unfortunately, the redistricting commission has developed an entirely disappointing map, yet again. Thankfully, there are much better options made available to them and the people of our great state. I would encourage you, commissioners, to look for something that better protects our metro Detroit communities.
Brent B
Adding inner detroit to the lake saint clair district that had originally been drawn for community of interest concerns violates communities of interest. this would be bad
Brent B
This "C" shape for the larger Canton area is bad.
