Redistricting often seems plagued by partisan activities and biased decisions.
Discussions on this issue often sink into a battle between two political parties. The
casualties of this conict are the people they will represent and the constitution they are
to uphold.
In Lehigh County, where I live, there are many odd divisions of General Assembly districts
which caused me to wonder if the law really required all these splits. In talking with
family and friends living across the state, their areas also had splits that seemed illogical
and promoted a poor representation of their areas.
The PA Constitution states that no county, city, incorporated town, borough, township or
ward shall be divided unless absolutely necessary and that districts are to be as nearly
equal in population as practicable. The US Supreme court ruled that a 10% variant is
permissible for the purpose of fullling constitutional requirements like the one in PA.
Recent judicial rulings continue to prove that the 10% variant is still allowable, provided
it is used to keep political subdivisions whole and not used to systematically adjust
the presence of political parties in a district. Idaho, New Hampshire, and New York all
had high variants (in the 9% range) which were upheld in higher courts in the 2001
redistricting cycle.
Further study revealed a method that is non-partisan and impartial which achieves
equal population (as dened by the Supreme Court) with minimal splits to counties,
municipalities, etc. (as required by PA Constitution).
The steps of this method are illustrated on the following pages for both the Senate and
House districts.
The only considerations used were population totals and political subdivisions. The
method leaves out the data that causes a more partisan and biased view of redistricting
(like the residence of incumbents, prior district boundaries, political afliation of
residents, etc.).
Page 3 your packet shows the results for the Senate districts. The column
labeled District Sizes shows that they are within the allowable variant range.
The column labeled Boundary Splits illustrates that the variant was used for
the proper purpose (keeping political subdivisions whole, as required by our
constitution).
Page 5 of your packet illustrates the same thing, except with the House districts.
Page 7 provides the specic steps used to reach this result, with illustrations of
each step on the subsequent pages.
Page 10 and 13 discuss how this process created the required minority-majority
districts (in compliance with VRA laws and judicial rulings).
Close-ups of the House district maps are on pages 15-18.
As you can see, it is possible to create districts that are as nearly equal in population as
practicable (within the 10% variant range) while still keeping political subdivisions whole.
They are compact and contiguous districts that offer the unied representation our
founders considered so fundamental to serving the citizens of this great Commonwealth.
Each map proves that the impartial system proposed here offers a non-partisan way
to create General Assembly districts. It gives the framework necessary to respect
and protect the boundaries of political subdivisions while still adhering to the other
applicable laws.
Many consider a redistricting plan to be superior when it achieves equal district sizes
while still preserving local political subdivisions. Pennsylvania has an opportunity for
greatness. It is my hope that this Commission will seize this moment and chose the
superior way.
Remarks
Based on several judicial cases, the Courts in 2001 said it is allowable to have a variant
in the 9% range, provided it is to preserve whole counties (etc.) and applies this with
consistency statewide (without discriminating).
In looking at a summary of redistricting cases from post-2000 maps, four states had
plans with a larger variant. In three of the four cases, the larger variant was upheld as
legal. Not all of these cases reached the US Supreme Court.
In Georgia, a 9.98% deviation was not allowed for multiple violations of the law
(including not preserving whole counties as well as many other faults -- intentionally
dilutes votes, considering political data, and violated their constitution, among several
other violations). Larios v. Cox, No. 1:03-CV-693-CAP, 300 F. Supp.2d 1320 (N.D. Ga.
Feb. 10, 2004), affd 542 U.S. 947 (June 30, 2004) ( No. 03-1413) (mem.).
In Idaho a 9.71% deviation was allowed for the purpose of preserving whole counties,
etc. without discrimination. Bonneville County v. Ysursa, 2005 Opinion No. 138, 142
Idaho 464, 129 P.3d 1213 (Idaho Dec. 28, 2005)
New Hampshire had an overall range of 9.26% and New York had a range of 9.78%.
Both plans were upheld. See Burling v. Chandler, No. 2002-0210, 148 N.H. 143 (N.H.
July 26, 2002) (House plan) and Allen v. Pataki, No. 02-101712 (N.Y. Sup. Ct., N.Y.
County, May 29, 2002).
The summary does not list the Legislative variant in every state, only those challenged.
So some states may have also had a larger variant (close to 10%) that met with no
opposition. (Found document that states 32/50 states have variant above 9%.)
Based on these cases, a variant in the 9% range would be allowed in PA to help us fulll
our constitutional rule about not splitting Counties, etc. unless absolutely necessary for
equal population (equal meaning a less than 10% variant).

The Steps and Formulas
Step 1: County Apportionment
a) PA Population / Number of Legislators = Target Average District Population
b) County Population / Target Average District Population = County Apportionment
Step 2. Place Counties into Groups
a) For Senate Districts: Group Counties so that apportionment totals equal as close to a whole number
as possible without breaking county lines.b) For Representative Districts: Group Counties so that apportionment totals equal as close to a whole
number as possible without breaking county lines.
Step 3: Verify County Groups are of equal population, as practicable (within 10% variant range)
a) Population of Grouped County(s) / Number of Apportioned Legislators = Actual District Population
b) Actual District Population / PA Population = Actual District Percentage of Population
Step 4: Divide County Groups exceeding one into districts with one legislator
Step 5: Assign District numbers
Step 6: Verify compliance with Voting Rights Act
a) Preserve existing minority-majority district(s)b) Create new minority-majority district(s), if required.
The Law
The Commonwealth shall be divided
into fty senatorial and two hundred
three representative districts, which
shall be composed of compact and
contiguous territory as nearly equal
in population as practicable. Each
senatorial district shall elect one
Senator, and each representative
district one Representative. Unless
absolutely necessary no county, city,
incorporated town, borough, township or
ward shall be divided in forming either a
senatorial or representative district.
(Article 2, Section 16).
The Goal
To use formulas to follow the law by
creating districts not dvdd b count,
ct, tc. unless absolutely necessary
to keep the population of each district
equal (in a practical sense).

Step 6
Senate Minority-Majority Districts& Philadelphia
Because of strong minority presence in Philadelphia County, any plan must consider minority-majority districts. Districts 3, 4, 7,
8 were all minority-majority districts in 2001 and retained their status.
Creating a 5th minority-majority was attempted by pulling minority populations from surrounding counties. Doing so, however,
did not result in a district that met the Voting Rights Act (VRA) criteria for a minority-majority district. No minority race had a
majority (50% + 1) in the attempted district. There would be no grounds for claim to the contrary under the VRA.
The following two charts list all districts in Philadelphia with racial stats. It is interesting to note the growth of the Hispanic
presence in District 2.
All of Population

Step 6 : House Minority-Majority DistrictsIn 2001, there were 17 House districts that met the criteria for a minority-majority district 14 in Philadelphia, 1 in Delaware,
and 2 in Pittsburgh.
The proposed map found it necessary to create 20 minority-majority districts.
1 previous minority-majority districts fell short of the required quota due to the changes in populations and district sizes
(specicaly the one in Delaware).
Of the previous minority-majority districts, all 14 were retained in Philadelphia as well as the 2 in Pittsburgh.
4 new minority-majority districts were created in the following counties: Berks (1 - Reading); Delaware (2 - Darby/Upper
Darby area); Lehigh (1 - Allentown).
Creating additional minority-majority districts was attempted by crossing political subdivisions. Doing so, however, did not result
in a district that met the Voting Rights Act (VRA) criteria for a minority-majority district. No minority race had a majority (50% + 1)
in the attempted district. So although several came close, there would be no grounds for claim to the contrary under the VRA.
The following two charts list all minoirty-majority house districts with racial stats.

Highlighted Situations and Notes
Non-Contuous Count Subdvsons: #41 (Lancaster Twp) -- The Township of Lancaster is not contiguous as portions of the township
(and even Manheim Twp) are occasionally interspersed with Lancaster City (#96). In the approved
2000 PA redistricting plan, these districts were allowed even though they contained these non-
contiguous portions. So it appears that non-contiguous county sub divisions do not count toward
making a non-contiguous district.
Mnort-Majort Dstrcts #161 (Delaware - orange colored) While having a 50% plus 1 majority of the total population,
it just falls short of the number for the over 18 population (49.1%). Because the 49.1% still gives
the minority a majority, it seems unnecessary to cross county subdivisions to bring it up to the
technically required 50% plus 1. If the Courts do not agree, then this could be met by moving
Philadelphia Wd 3 Precinct 21 and 22 from District 163 to 161. District 163 would take two VTD
from Ward 34 (District 90).
Several districts contained a large minority presence, but failed to reach the required 50% plus 1
minimum. Every effort was made to adjust the boundaries by splitting county subdivisions to reach
a majority. In each case, however, it was not possible to reach the required 50% plus 1 population
majority that would justify the splitting of County Subdivisions. Therefore, these districts were
left with whole County Subdivisions. They are: #96 (Lancaster City, Lancaster); #103 (Harrisburg,
Dauphin); and #159 (Chester City, Delaware) as well as several districts in the Philadelphia region
(especially #179 and #202).
Trms Equal Population, as dened by Federal
law, is a less than 10% overall variant in
Legislative districts, especially when used to
keep County Subdivisions whole. See Brown v.
Thomson, 462 U. S. 835 (1983)
Minority-Majority District, as dened by
Federal Law, is when a minority can compose
a 50% plus 1 of the over 18 population within
one district. See Bartlett v. Strickland, 129
S.Ct. 1231 (2009)
