Description:

This map preserves the portion of existing District 23 that extends into eastern Hendry County.

Voters in this district have consistently elected an African American member of Congress since

1992. The existing District 23 currently has 54% Black voting age population. Proposed District

23 has 50.1% Black voting age population.

This map also preserves the core of existing District 11, which is currently 26.8% Black and

25.8% Hispanic voting age population. The proposed District 11 is 26.7% Black and 25.5%

Hispanic voting age population.

Proposed District 25 is in Monroe and Miami-Dade Counties and has 76.5% Hispanic voting age

population. Currently, District 25 has 72.2% Hispanic voting age population and contains

portions of Collier, Monroe, and Miami-Dade Counties.

Professional Staff Comments:

This map preserves the cores of existing minority districts.

This map largely follows city boundaries. When it does not follow city boundaries, it is for the

purpose of keeping minority communities whole.

Description:

This map separates Collier County from Miami Dade and Monroe County. The current district in

this same area groups these three counties together and has 72.2% Hispanic voting age

population. In this proposal, Collier County joins a district which is 18.6% Hispanic voting age


population. Proposed District 27, which contains all of Monroe County and portions of Miami-

Dade, is 58.4% Hispanic.

Public Testimony and Comments from the Map Author:

Mr. Libby presented an earlier version of this map in Jacksonville, where he testified that he

wanted to keep communities together while adhering to the constitutional standards.

Members of the public at the Key West hearing testified that they had more in common with

Miami Dade than they did with Collier County. Citizens at the Miami hearings testified that their

needs were different than those of Collier County. Testimony at the Naples hearing indicated that

Collier County citizens felt the same way.


The consequences of separating Collier County from Miami Dade and Monroe counties in this

map were removing Collier County from a majority Hispanic district into a white district and

reducing the Hispanic population in the Miami Dade and Monroe County district by 14%.

Proposed District 13 removes the portion of existing District 11 that extends from Hillsborough

County into Pinellas and Manatee Counties, dropping the Black voting age population from

25.2% to 17.6%.

Also, this map removes eastern Hendry County from a majority Black district (existing District

23), and places it in a majority white district (proposed District 20) instead.

Description:

This map is an example of following county and city boundaries. District 23 has the highest Black

voting age population among proposed districts in the Southwest part of the state (31%). This

district is predominantly based in Southeast Florida and only includes 6,125 people in Hendry

County, of which 4,177 are voting age population.


The submitter presented his map at the Boca Raton public hearing. He testified that he followed

city lines and preserved municipal boundaries throughout the state except in Jacksonville, where


the population was too high. He also expressed some frustration with the lack of clarity from the

Justice department as to the standards for majority-minority districts.


Proposed District 23 has the highest Black voting age population in the Southwest Florida region

of this plan (31%). District 23 in the current plan has Black voting age population of 54%. This

district is predominantly based in Southeast Florida and only includes 6,125 people in Hendry

County, of which 4,177 are voting age population.

The plan splits minority communities in the Tampa Bay area among two districts. Proposed

District 14 crosses Tampa Bay and has 17.4% Black and 13.5% Hispanic voting age population.

District 15 in Hillsborough County has 17.8% Black and 25.6% Hispanic voting age population.

The benchmark District 11 in the current plan has 26.8% Black voting age population and 25.8%

Hispanic voting age population.

Description:

Districts in the current senate map were nearly equal in population based on the 2000 Census,

but due to different growth rates in different parts of the state, there are significant deviations

from the ideal district population based on the 2010 Census. Settled urban areas like Tampa, St.

Petersburg, Clearwater, Bradenton, and Sarasota did not keep pace with Florida‘s average

population growth. Suburban areas in east Pasco, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Lee Counties were

among the faster growing parts of the state.

Minority Access: District 18 in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Manatee Counties has 39.5% Black

voting age population of 39.5% and 23.3% Hispanic voting age population. It is underpopulated

by 65,211 people. District 39 in Hendry, Collier, Monroe, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-

Dade Counties is 29.1% Black voting age population and 43.0% Hispanic voting age population.

It is overpopulated by 13,150 people.

Districts 18 and 39 are both in areas subject to Section 5 preclearance. Both also have African-

American incumbents.

Representatives that will address all of the Bonita Springs resident‘s needs to have a

voice and vote with State representation.‖ – from the Bonita Spring City Council

Resolution No. 11-056

o ―Whereas a purpose of reapportionment or state redistricting is to provide a structure for

voters with similar needs or ‗communities of interest‘ to elect a candidate of their

choice.‖ – from the Bonita Spring City Council Resolution No. 11-056

Mr. King submitted comments with his plans explaining how he began by drawing Senate

districts, then divided those into House districts, and then used those House districts to draw

Congressional districts. This map corresponds with SPUBH0087 and SPUBC0088.

Other points by Mr. King:

o ―The districts were defined starting on the northern border, going from west to east, and

then moving south. For the panhandle region, this involved starting with county based

units and continuing until population of the evolving district boundary was just below the

target population. Next voting districts (VTD-level) are used to get a closer approach to

the target, using the undo button when the target is exceeded. Finally the block- level is

used, including the ―lasso assign‖ button, to migrate a smooth boundary as the target

population is approached. At the final step, the border was magnified to the finest scale

where block boundaries become visible, then the population is ―fine tuned‖ by

exchanging several blocks between either sides of the boundary until the district

population is within the target value by an acceptable increment. Finally the utility scans

for contiguity and completeness are made, corrected, and rebalanced if necessary. The

changes were then saved and the completed district locked. Thus the just completed

boundary is not changed when one starts to form the next district.‖

o ―For the urban areas where minority populations are more concentrated, the choice of the

district boundaries were made to maximize the number of majority minority Senate

districts. For non-minority Senate districts, any concentrated areas of minorities are not

split between adjacent Senate districts, so that when the House districts are made from

the Senate districts, majority minority House districts are also maximized.‖

o ―It is at the macro phase where the boundaries are laid out with consideration for

compactness, minority representation, commonality of communities of interest, such as

similar socioeconomic and cultural factors and common local governments. All of these

general criteria, However, are forever compromised by the dominance of extreme

measures of uniformity of population prescribed by law and legal precedence as the main

driver.‖


Deviation: In this map, every district within the southwest region is within a individual of the

ideal population for a district giving them all a 0.0% deviation from the target population.

Counties: This plan does not use county boundaries to divide districts.

Municipalities: This plan emphasizes geometrically compact districts as opposed to municipal

boundaries.

Minority Access: District 20 in Hillsborough County is 23.1% Black voting age population and

27.8% Hispanic voting age population. District 40 in Collier, Hendry, Lee, Monroe, Palm Beach,

Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties is 17.2% Black voting age population and 47.5% Hispanic

voting age population. Comparatively in the 2002 map, District 18 in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and


Manatee Counties has 39.5% Black voting age population and 23.3% Hispanic voting age

population. The current District 39 in Hendry, Collier, Monroe, Palm Beach, Broward, and

Miami-Dade Counties has 29.1% Black voting age population and 43.0% Hispanic voting age

population.

Districts in the current senate map were nearly equal in population based on the 2000 Census,

but due to different growth rates in different parts of the state, there are significant deviations

from the ideal district population based on the 2010 Census.

Black Minority Access: The 2002 plan has one district in Hillsborough County with a 54.0%

Black voting age population and one district in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas and Sarasota

Counties with a 49.4% Black voting age population.

Hispanic Minority Access: The 2002 plan has a district in the southwest region with a majority

Hispanic voting age population and a district just under 50% Hispanic voting age population.

o District 112 in Collier, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties has 71.4% Hispanic voting

age population

o District 58 in Hillsborough County has a Hispanic voting age population of 49.8%

Overview:

This plan attempts to keep the districts in the same general shape and location as the 2002 plan,

including minority access seats.

This plan creates one district in Hillsborough County with 53.4% Black voting age population

and one district in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties with 46.4% Black

voting age population. The plan has a 48.9% Hispanic voting age population district in Osceola

and Polk Counties. District 58 in Hillsborough County has a Hispanic voting age population of

50.2%. District 112 in Collier, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties is 54.5% Hispanic voting age

population, which is less than the 71.4% benchmark for the current district.

Deviation: In this map the districts in the southwest region are all within a 4.5% deviation of the

ideal mean for voting age population.

Counties: This map makes some use of county boundaries to divide districts. It follows the

boundary between Manatee County and Hardee County to separate Districts 66 and 67 and the

boundaries between Charlotte and DeSoto Counties and between Glades and Highlands Counties

to separate Districts 72 and 77.

Municipalities: The focus of this map is not keeping municipalities whole.

Black Minority Access: This plan creates one district in Hillsborough County with 53.4% Black

voting age population and one district in Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas, and Sarasota Counties

with a 46.4% Black voting age population.

Hispanic Minority Access: District 112 in Broward, Collier and Miami-Dade Counties has a

Hispanic voting age population of 54.5%, which is less than the 71.4% benchmark for the current

district. District 58 in Hillsborough County has a Hispanic voting age population of 50.2%.

District 41 in Osceola and Polk Counties has a Hispanic voting age population of 48.9%.

Mr. Libby participated in the Jacksonville public hearing and commented on his Congressional

map. His later House maps were not submitted until after the conclusion of the public hearings.


Deviation: In this map the districts in the southwest region are all within a 0.6% deviation of the

ideal mean for voting age population.

Counties: This map makes frequent use of county boundaries to divide districts, including the

boundary between Hardee County and Polk County to separate Districts 52 and 72, the boundary

between Glades County and Hendry County to separate Districts 78 and 81, the boundary

between Martin County and Palm Beach County to separate Districts 84 and 92, and the

boundary between Collier and Monroe to separate Districts 81 and 120.

Municipalities: This plan splits municipalities in Hillsborough, Lee, and Pinellas Counties.

This plan creates one district in Hillsborough County with a 44.5% Black voting age population,

which is less than the 53.4% benchmark for the current district.

This plan creates one district located in Collier, Hendry, and Miami-Dade Counties with a 63.0%

Hispanic voting age population, which is less than the 71.4% benchmark for the current district.

HPUBH0052—Michael Reagen

Michael Regan, on behalf of the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, Naples Area Board of

Realtors, Economic Development Council of Collier County and the Collier Building Industry

Association presented this map along with a presentation at the Naples public hearing. He points

out that his map divides Collier County among 3 legislative districts as opposed to 5 in the 2002

map.

o ―The current maps hold little regard for compactness, political subdivisions and

communities.‖ – Michael Regan at the Naples public hearing

o ―One, new boundaries should keep Collier County intact to the greatest extent possible.

Number 2, new boundaries should ensure that the proposed districts clearly are compliant

with the standards of the Voting Rights Act. Third, permit Collier voters to elect

representatives of their choice to the greatest extent possible.‖ – Michael Regan at the

Naples public hearing


Deviation: The three districts in this plan all have a deviation within 0.2% of the ideal mean

population for a house district.

Counties: The boundary of Collier and Monroe County is used as a border for District 3.

Municipalities: There are no split municipalities in the three districts drawn.

Minority Access: District 3 located in Collier and Miami-Dade Counties has a 59.4% Hispanic

voting age population, which is less than the 71.4% benchmark for the current district.
