  • The Senate Alternative Revision (February 12, 2012) Redistricting Plan: a Basis for Evaluating the LATFOR Senate Proposal Released on January 26, 2012
    The Senate Alternative Revision (February 12, 2012) Redistricting Plan: a Basis for Evaluating the LATFOR Senate Proposal Released on January 26, 2012 Todd A. Breitbart* February 21, 2012 At the hearing on Thursday, February 9, 2012 of the NYS Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment (LATFOR), in Hauppauge, I submitted a redistricting plan titled the Senate Alternative (February 9, 2012). This was accompanied by extensive documentation showing how the Senate Alternative (February 9, 2012) illustrated the principles that ought to be the basis for any Senate redistricting plan, and demonstrating, by comparison, how far and in how many ways the Senate Majority proposal, published by LATFOR on January 26th, departs from sound principles. I submitted the block assignment list to LATFOR by e-mail on the evening of February 9th, so that the Senate Alternative (February 9, 2012) could be evaluated with geographic information system (GIS) redistricting software. Then, on February 15, I sent a block assignment list to LATFOR by e-mail for the Senate Alternative Revision (February 12, 2012), which corrects some flaws in the original version. This statement introduces the updated and expanded documentation of this proposal, and of the comparison with the Senate Majority / LATFOR proposal. In addition to the block assignment list, the submission includes the following: 1. Maps showing details of the Senate Alternative Revision (February 12, 2012). 2. This comparison of the Senate Alternative Revision (February 12, 2012) with the Senate Majority / LATFOR plan of January 26th, which is further documented by: a.
