Commission Inches Closer to Partisan Fairness in Senate Maps

The commission continued their deliberations regarding their State Senate draft maps as they edited their “Cherry” map to achieve partisan fairness. They made amendments towards metro Detroit districts to respect AAPI communities in Troy, Rochester Hills, and Sterling Heights and split Ann Arbor into two districts. Following their lunch, they connected Ada and Cascade Townships in a district with Grand Rapids.

These changes have resulted in a decrease in the efficiency gap, a measurement of partisan fairness, down to 0.6% Republican advantage.
