Part of one of the "What If" Maps
It’s been a quiet summer at the IRC, punctuated by partisan posturing about investigations, complaints and lawsuits.
However, we are seeing the early outlines of maps, even now. The commission is in the stage of the process where they are considering “what if” ideas about what the first draft maps will look like.
While it seems very early in the process, it really is not. What happens in the next two weeks will directly inform the final maps.
The first draft maps will set the agenda. They will be the benchmark from which all parties will engage in the tough debates. If you’ve ever been involved in negotiations, you know that where you start the debate dramatically influences the outcome.
We are not exaggerating when we say things are going to happen very quickly from here on.
We have spent the last year building awareness through Gerrymandering, the movie, then speaking all over the state and finally hosting a contest to demonstrate just how much power you can have in this process.
All of that work will culminate in the next few weeks.
Its now or never for truly competitive districts!
So, we need you to get involved today in three ways:
1) Advocate for “competition first”.
Ten years ago, the commission waited until the very end of the process to consider competition. They did not pay attention to the many objective measurement tools for competition that are available. The result was disastrous.
We can’t make that mistake again. We are asking you to attend any of the upcoming commission hearings and specifically request that the commission:
a. prioritize competitive districts at the beginning of the process and not to wait until the end.
b. use objective measurement tools, such as Judge-It*, to allow all of us to scrutinize whether each district is competitive.
As an aside, partisan activists are running around saying that we have had competitive districts over the last decade “because they changed hands between the political parties.” They point to the fact that a couple districts changed party control in 2006 and 2010. This is a last-ditch argument to maintain the status quo. Help us fight this myth. In reality, the data does not support that these districts are competitive in terms of party registration or performance.
The definition of a competitive districts is simple: the registration percentage between both parties must be close enough such that the district could change hands in any given election –not just when there is a political tidal wave one way or another, as there was in 2006 and 2010.
2) Scrutinize the Maps
Partisans did not want the commission to use Redistrict Arizona, which many of you became familiar with during our contest, because they don’t want public scrutiny.
However, we can’t be stopped so easily. The Commission has provided a free on-line mapping tool for your use. Please, please use it to scrutinize every map that comes out!
This is where your power lies. The on-line mapping tool will show you the data behind the maps: Are they competitive? Are they compact? Do they protect voting rights? Are partisans or incumbents playing games with the districts?
As the draft and pre-draft maps are created, they should are put on line for you to analyze.
Go to this link to use the mapping tool.
The Commission is having a free on-line training session on how to use the mapping software on September 20th. There are only 600 spaces available. So, please register here today.
Frankly, we don’t think they did enough outreach to let the public know about this webinar. Please help us ask for another one. This process belongs to you and they should honor your need for training on the software.
3) Make a contribution
All of this organizing, analysis and work costs money. We are all volunteers, but we do have overhead costs. Please make a contribution at our website.
*”Judge-It” is one of many tools that is used to measure whether a district is likely to be competitive. It have been used in previous decades and in many states. The commission cannot simply rely on previous election outcomes. They must consider competitiveness at the very smallest census block and trace level, using sophisticated measurement tools.
When we presented the winning maps to the Commission on August 3rd, there were a couple misguided folks in the audience who came to the conclusion that the ACDC mapping contest was a partisan effort to influence the process.
We were, frankly, shocked to hear this. We don’t know where it is coming from and it holds no water.
We have offered to hand over Redistrict Arizona to the Commission so that the 450 (or so) people who are using it now can continue to use it as a convenient way to express their redistricting needs to the Commission –regardless of political persuasion.
Perhaps these detractors believe that somehow the very programming of the public mapping tool will infect the process in a mysterious way.
There are two important things to know. First, Redistrict Arizona is based on Open Source programming. Such as to say, there are no proprietary programs in the system. Anybody can break it open and check under the hood. Second, were the Commission to take over ownership of Redistrict Arizona, they would re-program it to represent their own definitions for criteria such as competition, compactness and equal population.
We designed Redistrict Arizona to improve participation and public access to a process. In 2001 those who could afford $2,500 for mapping software and training had an unfair advantage over the public.
So, we need your help. If you have enjoyed using Redistrict Arizona and believe that it is useful tool in this mapping process, please contact the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission at (602) 542-5221 and let them know.

We are very proud to announce the winners of Arizona’s first ever public mapping contest.
Yes, we are aware that our press conference was last week, but, hey, we are all volunteers over here! So, we are just now sending out the e-blast. Our apologies for the delay.
First, we want to thank the judges, Jose Penalosa (Rep.), Tricia Gerrodette (Ind.) and D. Jay Stanforth (Dem.), as well as our amazing contest director, Dr. Barbara Klein of the League of Women Voters of Arizona.
This was not an easy process and it took many hours of volunteer time to make happen.
Winner Glenn Jacques. Photo by Steve Muratore
The Best Congressional Maps category was won by Glenn Jacques of Phoenix and Stuart Wright of Ohio, with honorable mention going to Marcia Busching.
The Best Legislative Maps category was won by Sam Almy of Tucson and Glenn Jacques of Phoenix, with honorable mention going to Stuart Wright of Ohio.
You can download the entire report here.
Please remember that we had two best legislative and two best congressional maps because we are not trying to push any particular map. We just wanted to see who could do the best!
If you want to see all of the entries and all of the maps, you can visit and look at the shared maps. The maps from the contest are the ones with the Disney character names. We named them as such so that they would be anonymous to the judges.
Congratulations, everyone!

WINNERS ANNOUNCED IN PUBLIC MAPPING CONTEST HOSTED BY THE NON-PARTISAN ARIZONA COMPETITIVE DISTRICTS COALITION
<See Below for Maps. All Contestant Maps will be made live on Redistrict Arizona for download and further development. Look under Shared Plans” for maps with the names of Disney Characters.>
Phoenix, Arizona August 2, 2011 –
A judging panel created by the Arizona Competitive Districts Coalition and overseen by the Arizona League of Women Voters has selected 2 winners in each category of Legislative and Congressional maps, as well as a special Honorable Mention for each.
According to Competitive Districts Coalition Co-Chair, Ken Clark, “our goal was to demonstrate that a public mapping tool like Redistrict Arizona can focus the creative ideas of the public in a constructive way to support the redistricting process.”
ACDC Co-Chair, Roberta Voss said “putting the mapping more in the hands of communities means more relevant mapping and a greater competition of ideas.”
Winners and judges comments to follow.
Best Congressional Maps:
Stuart Wright of Ohio
Glenn Jacques of Phoenix, Arizona
Judges said the following of Mr. Wright’s map:
“While the software lists this map as having 5 competitive districts there is another district at 56.8%. This is very impressive for 9 total districts.
There was unconventional drawing of southern districts in this map, which can (at first glance) be startling. However, this takes the entire Arizona/Mexican border as one community of Interest, which may very well be a useful approach.
“Compactness was good, and all districts were within a 1% deviation for equal population. Voting Rights Act (VRA) requirements were met with district 1 at 53.17% and district 8 at 50.12% Hispanic minority /majority districts.”
Judges said the following of Mr. Glenn’s map:
“This map also did very well in regard to competitiveness. It is listed as 4 out of 9 districts being competitive, but also has another district at 55.36%, which borders on being a competitive district as well. This map approached Tucson in a less divisive manner than some other congressional maps.”
“While district 3 may seem to leave Fountain Hills out in a rural area at first appearance, it is partnered with much of Paradise Valley and northern Scottsdale. So while not a competitive district, it does not appear unreasonably matched with the contiguous rural areas that are also in the district.”
“The judges felt that there was reasonable handling of clear communities of interest.”
“Voting Right Act requirements were met with district 4 at 53.32% and district 8 at 45.55% Hispanic minority /majority districts.”
Best Legislative Maps:
Sam Almy of Tucson, Arizona
Glenn Jacques of Phoenix, Arizona
Judges said of Mr. Almy’s map:
“This map has developed an excellent level of competitive districts at 9 out of 30, with a 10th close at 53.7%.
Tucson is split but in reasonable ways according to the judges.”
Judges said of Mr. Glenn’s map:
“This map has developed a very good level of competitive districts at a recorded 7 out of 30, with two other districts around 44%.”
“This map had a better split for Sierra Vista than many. It includes affluent areas of rural Tucson and Sierra Vista.”
“One district covers more than half the Arizona/Mexican border, and another completes that border. The judges saw this as a way to concentrate border issues and that these districts can be seen as a community of interest in that way.”
“The judges gave honorable mention to Marcia Busching for her congressional map, that created 3 out of 9 competitive districts. They recognized Stuart Wright for his legislative map, which 6 competitive districts, technically, but which had three more districts that were very close to the competitive measure set out by the contest.”
________________
An awards-ceremony and press conference took place on August 2nd at 3pm at the Arizona Capitol Museum in the Parlor room. The maps will be presented to the Independent Redistricting Commission on August 3rd. A report of the judges on the winning maps will be available on August 2nd at the press conference and on line at www.azredistricting.com. The winning maps will be available on the Redistrict Arizona mapping tool, found through www.azredistricting.com.
Dr. Barbara Klein of the Arizona League of Women Voters said “Our judges did an outstanding job on a process that is highly technical and which requires a great time commitment. We are very grateful.”
The panel members included:
Jose Penalosa (Republican, Maricopa County, Attorney-state bar member in Arizona and Colorado. He is a member of “Somos Republicans,” where he serves as the national Spanish spokesperson.

Folks, if you’ve not already seen this around the newspapers, here it is: the new (and under construction) hearing schedule for the Independent Redistricting Commission.
Regarding whether the commission is on schedule, behind schedule or ahead of schedule, we are certain of one thing: If you use Redistrict Arizona as your platform to speak with the commission –regardless of your agenda– we believe you will have better luck getting your point across.
We also want to take this opportunity to share our thoughts on the current debates around recent commission decisions on mapping consultants. The following is taken from our newsletter, which you can sign up for here.
—————-Our Opinion on the Hullabaloo——-
So, you’ve certainly seen all of the controversy over mapping consultants, commissioner disclosures and all the rest.
Yes, we at the ACDC have an opinion on that: we have seen this before. It’s good old fashioned posturing.
Ten years ago, the Democrats were upset that the IRC chose NDC, a mapping firm with ties to Republican candidates. This year, Republicans are upset at the choice of Strategic Telemetry, a firm with ties to the Democratic party.
Both parties are trying to “play to the refs.” They are trying to influence public opinion in their direction because they feel any little thing could lose them “the advantage.”
Our suggestion: get in the game and get constructive. We believe that the best way to draw maps that are respectful of voters is for you, yes you, to submit serious maps.
Amid calls that the Commission step up its meeting schedule, they are putting together a state-wide tour of public meetings. We will post on our blog once we get the final list, too. Please attend or watch on line.
Further, regardless of your political opinion, use Redistrict Arizona. Please pull together community leaders and make your arguments constructively through the maps that you submit.
After all, once you get away from the prepared talking points and the blog-driven “news”, what you have are real communities and real people who are sick and tired of political games.
They are the local business owners, the city leaders, the teachers and the families who want politicians to produce solutions, not theater. Hey, 33% of them don’t even belong to the two major parties.
When you ask them what they want to see in districts, we think they will say one thing: Choice.
Redistrict Arizona allows you to build, share and submit your suggestions in ways you never could before. You have instant feedback on issues such as equal population, the Voting Rights Act and competition.
Hullabaloo only goes so far. Constructive suggestions get the job done.
One of our contestants and one of our judges brought an important point to us: “At the state level, congressional districts must be exactly equal population in order to avoid problems with DOJ. However at the legislative level, you can have a deviation of 10% and still be considered equal population.”
Well, we set our contest requirement at a maximum of +/- 1% population deviation. For congressional, this mean you can be off 7,102 voters. For legislative, you can be off by as much as 2,136 voters. Seems crazy, yes?
Clearly we allow too much of a deviation for congressional and too little for legislative, it seems.
Well, in digging further, and speaking with experts around the country, we know that, even though some states allow 10% deviation, there is a court case (Larios v. Cox) that indicates that your plan would probably invite a court challenge if you had such a large deviation.
As for the Congressional deviation, we are going to leave it as is. There is not enough time to make folks change their maps to make them exactly equal, and we believe that would be unfair.
However, we are going to leave it up to the judges in the case of legislative maps. We are briefing the judges about the court precedence on this issue as regards to legislative districts and we will let them choose the best course. We think you should assume, however, that the closer you get to equal population, the better your chance of winning.
Happy mapping!
Did you know that about 46% of voters in Arizona effectively don’t have a voice after the primary election.
If you count up voters who live in districts that are overwhelmingly controlled by the opposing party:
Republicans in Dem. controlled districts and Democrats in Rep. controlled districts: 660,348 registered voters.
If you count up all of the Independents and Others who live in districts in which the Independents and Others cannot bridge the difference between the two parties you will see 775,639 registered voters
Combined thats 1,435,987 registered voters out of a total of 3,102,876 registered voters.
In other words, 46% of all voters!
...NOT our judges...
Our panel of judges met this week, poured over the contest entries and decided that they wanted to give contestants two more weeks to submit, or re-submit maps.
The new contest deadline will be midnight on July 15th.
Please see this blog post for instructions on how to submit your entry.
Also, please remember that there are two $500 first prizes for best congressional maps and two $500 first prizes for best legislative maps. There are also two $300 prizes for best student maps.
Now, here is why the judges chose to extend the deadline.
1) Voting Right Act Minimum Requirements. While there were many plans met the basic VRA requirements, some did not but were very close. To learn more about those requirements, see this blog post and the Contest Guidelines.
2) Equal Population. There were many plans that did not meet the requirements for equal population. Please see the contest guidelines for those requirements.
3) While many plans met these two important basic requirements, the judges concluded that they wanted to see plans that were more respectful of communities of interest. While we all know that “communities of interest” is a highly subjective term, the judges felt that too many times very obvious communities were divided, such as small cities and neighborhoods.
NOTE: We promise that this contest will not be extended again. If we do not have maps that meet the judges requirements, we will not award prizes.
Maps will only be considered if they meet the basic criteria set out in the Contest Guidelines. If you have any questions please contact us at azcompetitivedistricts@gmail.com.
Please note an error that we made in our contest definitions.
We indicated the exact percentage of voting age population Hispanic voters were in each of the Hispanic legislative districts in 2001, but we failed to give you the exact percentages that were in the congressional districts. Our apologies.
As we have mentioned previously, four our contest purposes, you need to do at least as well as the 2001 maps in creating voting age population density in order to be considered for the contest.
The revision is on the contest definitions page, as well as copied below:
In the last decade, Arizona created 7 voter protection districts in the legislature and 2 in our congressional delegation.
Redistrict Arizona will not allow you to draw fewer voter protection districts than were approved in 2001, but you can draw more.
Voter protection districts are defined by the number of voting age residents. While in the eyes of the Department of Justice, Arizona could allocate more voting age residents to a given legislative or congressional district, they cannot dilute that number from where it was in 2001.
To be more specific about what happened in 2001, please consider the following in regards to the congressional maps:
In 2001, we created district that had a 51.51% Hispanic voting age population (VAP) and one that had 44.47% Hispanic VAP. For our purposes, we will accept at least one district of at least 51.51% and one of at least 44.47% or two of at least 50% Hispanic VAP.
Please note that if you run your maps through the validation process on Redistrict Arizona it might not recognize two districts at 50%, but you can still submit your maps to the contest.
Please consider the following in regards to the legislative maps:
In 2001, there was at least 1 district be greater than 60% Native American VAP.
There were at least 3 districts be greater than 55% Hispanic VAP.
There were at least 4 districts be between 40% and 55% Hispanic VAP.
There were at least 2 districts be between 30% and 40% Hispanic VAP.*
*These 30-40% districts were specifically cited as being Hispanic influence districts by the commission in their submission to DOJ and were cited by DOJ in their objection as requiring greater Hispanic populations. So, while 30%-40% VAP is not a majority, it is recognized as a significant level.
We know from current census data that some of the districts that previously met this 30%-40% measure no longer do. At the same time, current data indicates that it may be possible to make as many as 4 30%-40% VAP districts. For the purposes of Redistrict Arizona, we will require that maps have at least two of these 30%-40% VAP districts (in addition to the other higher ones), knowing that you can make more if you’d like.
See the original 2001 mapping results here.
June 22nd at midnight is the deadline to submit your maps and be eligible for one of four, $500 prizes for best congressional and legislative maps.
If you are a high school student, you have also have shot at the two $300 prizes. If you are entering for the student prize, you can enter the regular contest, but not with the same map.
Here is what you need to know in order to enter:
1) You will need to download your plan to a .csv file from Redistrict Arizona. Look for the “Step 4″ tab and the “download” button.
2) Email that file to azcompetitivedistricts@gmail.com
3) Include your full name, organizations name or team name. Tell us if you are a high school student and what school you go to.
4) Include in your email a max. 500-word statement about the goals of your plan.
Maps will only be considered if they meet the basic criteria set out in the Contest Guidelines. If you have any questions please contact us at azcompetitivedistricts@gmail.com.
NOTE: We find that first time mappers are a little daunted by the software. But stick with it! Before you fret, please view the entire YouTube webinar.
Here are some common questions about using Redistrict Arizona.
Please remember, the contest deadline is in 8 days and most questions can be answered by watching the instructional webinar on Youtube.
Q. Why do the counties keep highlighting when I want to work on districts?
A. Because you have to zoom in far enough for the computer to know what you are working on. If you are looking at the state as a whole, the computer will assume you are trying to highlight counties (even though you can’t change those boundaries). When you zoom in so that the district dominates the screen, the computer will recognize that you are selecting the district. The same is for census blocks and for census tracts (the smallest measure). So, keep zooming in if you want to change a boundary. The unavoidable problem is that you have to zoom in really far to work on a census tract, and then you have to zoom out to see what affect your change has on the entire district. But, it beats drawing maps on the back of napkins.
Q. I signed up, but I can’t start mapping. What’s up with that?
A. Many folks get a password for the community forum, which is on our website, thinking that they are signing up for a profile on Redistrict Arizona. The community forum is there for you to talk, share complain, etc. Hey, we paid for it. please use it!
Q. How do I lock and unlock a district that I don’t want to change?
A. There is a little pad lock in the upper-left corner. Touch that and then on a locked area. Locked areas have bright red boundaries. If you are zoomed in far enough to see blocks then it will lock the blocks. Same with tracts.
Padlock in upper left. See in legend that red boundary means its locked.
This is the district when it is locked.
Q. Why is the system running so slowly?
A. We were able to buy enough bandwidth on the server to allow about 35 people to make changes to their maps at a time. The system will throttle the speed after that. We could use your help here if you’d like to help us buy more bandwidth. As of today, there are over 280 profiles on the system and over 680 maps saved on the system. We need everybody’s contributions and we would particularly like the help of any organizations, individuals or corporations who see the value in getting the recognition for helping us in this way.
Q. Why can’t I draw precincts?
A. During redistricting, we focus on census tracts and blocks. The county recorders will re-draw the precincts when this part of the process is done.
Q. If you happen to get a district that is non-contiguous, sometimes it won’t let you fix it.
A. This is an illusion. It means that some itty bitty bit of the district, maybe as small as a census tract, was not moved in to a new district when you moved all the others. If you touch on the colored rectangle on the right side panel for a district, it will highlight that district. Then zoom in around the boundaries of that district to see where there might be some bits that are not contiguous.
We are hosting a map-a-thon this evening and then one next Tuesday, at least in Phoenix. We find that you can get answers to most of your questions by going to a map-a-thon.
This question came up in the last Map-a-Thon: “we can see how many competitive districts we’ve created?”
The answer is you need to put the competition measure in your statistics panel on the right hand side of your screen. You can customize the statistics panel by going to the orange “Edit Stats” button in the upper right hand area of the mapping screen.
When you open the Edit Statistics Sets box you can create a new set of stats. You already have two, called “Basic Information” and “Demographics”. You can create more, but they can only have three bits of data in each. Otherwise, they would not fit along the side.
So, you can see that we’ve created one here called “Competition”. If you look at the top of the panel, you can see that it says that we have 2 competitive districts on this map. The competitiveness measure is an average of how people voted (“voter performance”) for 4 state-wide offices over two election cycles.
Unfortunately, when you go to the “Evaluate” tab, you won’t see this as an option to evaluate your plan. That statistics “calculator” was an added cost and so far we are still waiting for Donald Trump’s $10,000 contribution check to pay for that. (We kid, but we love.) However, you can deduce the competitiveness of a district by evaluating based on “Party-Controlled Districts”. Isn’t it cool how there’s always a work-around?
However, if you go to the “Leaderboards” tab, you will be able to see who is doing the best on the competitiveness measure –assuming that they share their plans with others. We strongly encourage y’all to share your plans. That’s the point of crowdsourcing! Everybody working together to solve a problem.
Keep mapping and please join us at our next Map-a-Thons on June 14th!
Barbara Klein, one of our wonderful advisory board members from the League of Women Voters found these very telling quotes. While they are not from Arizona and they are somewhat historical, they say it all!
Vern Riffe was a democrat and the longest serving Speaker of the House in Ohio’s history. The Democrats were in charge of the redistricting in 1971 and 1981 and were very effective. In his autobiography Speaker Riffe said:
“It wasn’t fun drawing the districts and moving them through the courts, but it was all worth it when the results of the 1972 election were counted … that’s the power of the pencil.”
This comment was in the November 30 issue of the Columbus paper – the Columbus Dispatch. ————
Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine was blunt:
“I’m not paid by the League of Women Voters or Common Cause or any group that wants a process of fair maps, however you define that. I’m in the business of drawing the most Republican map you can find.”
The Arizona Competitive Districts Coalition launched an incredible new, free mapping tool that has already revolutionized the redistricting process in Arizona. We are also hosting a contest to see who can do the best job mapping.
We are proud to announce that each of the four best maps (2 congressional and 2 legislative) will be awarded $500. This prize money is provided by the League of Women Voters and private donors.
We are also proud to announce that there will be a student category, in which Arizona High School students can win $300 (one each for congressional and legislative maps). This prize money is provided by the Arizona Education Association, and its members. Students will also win gift certificates to Stinkweeds Records in Phoenix, thanks to Kimber Lanning.
So, we are dishing out over $2,600 in prizes to see who can build the best maps! You can enter as a team or as an individual. If you are entering as a student, you cannot also enter for the regular prizes.
To help you get a start using the mapping tool so you can win the prize money, we host weekly Map-a-Thons –in Tucson and Phoenix for now– until the contest deadline on June 22nd.
We had huge groups of folks at the last events –some novice and some experts on Redistrict Arizona. If you are hoping for a chance at the prize money for the best maps, these events are essential!
Join us in an opportunity to build your district maps, meet other mappers, collaborate and learn. ACDC volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and help you be a better mapper.
These Map-a-Thons are not reserved for Tucson or Phoenix, only. Please stay tuned for opportunities all over the state. If you would like to host a Map-a-Thon in your city, please contact us at azcompetitivedistricts@gmail.com
