Nevada, our fourth congressperson

I read Nathaniel90’s material concerning redistricting in Nevada.  Our growth has slowed way down during the the last four years, and as a result it is unlikely that we (Nevada) will get a fourth congressperson.  But if we do get a fourth congressperson, those CD boundaries have already been decided.  Well, I shouldn’t say that, but nearly everyone who counts has signed off on the new boundaries.  If you are interested I will e-mail you these new boundary lines.  Also, per the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Abrams v. Johnson, 177 S.Ct. 1925 (1997) we will need to redistrict, even if we continue with three CDs.  These new boundaries have also been decided upon.  Forrest.Darby@cox.net

  1. don’t they actually have to have the 2010 census data before districts can be drawn?  Or are the lines so obvious that the real numbers won’t matter?

    Thanks!

  2. Most number-crunchers think that even if Nevada grows 0% in 2009 and through the Census on April 1, 2010, its growth rate was so hot in the first half of the decade that a fourth seat is almost guaranteed. It would be a huge surprise for Nevada to miss out.

    Also, what do you mean about the lines being predetermined and decided upon? I think a lot of us are curious what you’re hearing.

  3. A little more content in your diary would be helpful.  You make claims such as “if we do get a fourth congressperson, those CD boundaries have already been decided” without backing that up with any facts whatsoever.  Anyone can come on here and type two lines about some random subject, but that doesn’t make it true without evidence.

  5. I will transfer $50 Billion to your bank account.

    We don’t even know who will control the legislature and governorship.  We don’t have census data yet. Your claim that you already have the lines is absurd. (Maybe there have been some preliminary discussions, but nothing could be final at this point.)
