OK. here we go again.  We will be up to 132 voters with the return of Philip once he reregisters.  All of my previous plans A-I are now valid.

Here are two new ones (numbers assume Phillip decides to stay in NH so he can run against Seige40).

Plan J:


Plan K:


Plan J doesn't require a lot of change in our districts, but it is extremely brittle and will become invalid if anyone moves into the coastal District 2.

Plan K requires more change, but is extremely balanced with a max difference of only 2 voters.

Any plan that trys to achieve only a one vote difference is going to require radically different districts from what we have now.

While I can support any of the Plans A-K I have listed here, I like Plan K best.

Therefore, to spur the other governors to action, even if's only to vote it down, I'm going to officially propose that we adopt Plan K listed above and ask for governors to vote yea, nay, or abstain,and I'm going to consider any governor who doesn't vote on this within a week as having abstained.  If that means it gets adopted 1-0, so be it, but we can't dawdle any longer.

Plan K should move NM to the South, TN to the MidWest, and ND to the West.  Just to make it look better.  Sorry for the intrusion.

1) DISTRICTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH REGIONS, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS, 'THESE STATES SHOULD BE TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SIMILAR!' OR 'THESE STATES SHOULD BE TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY MAKE THINGS PRETTTTYYYYYFULLLLLL' *hem*
2) NM is in the District including Alabama, if that's what you mean.
3) I believe Tennessee cannot be moved due to balance reasons.  Besides, I don't know if you mean, by 'the Midwest', the region including Missouri or the region including Kentucky.
4) Once again, I think balance reasons would make it impossible.

If NM goes into Alabama's region and TN goes into WI's region and ND goes into CA's region the numbers balance out.
