Commission Drafts Senate Districts in Tri-Cities, Macomb County

After drawing draft State Senate district lines in Southeast Michigan, the Commission continued drawing district lines in the Tri-Cities region which surrounds Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw. Provided with additional data from Election Data Services’s updated mapping software, the Commission began reconciling its current State Senate district maps alongside data that showed both the racial makeup of each district and election results with racial minority candidates. The Commission will use this data to “unpack” majority-minority voting districts and preserve the voting power of minority voting populations.
