2020 Oregon Redistricting

[Nyvin]

The State House has quorum and they're giving speeches about SB-881A,  the congressional map that GAleftist posted.   The Senate already passed this bill and all that's left now is the floor vote on the House and then the Gov's signature.

Well congrats to Oregon I guess for finishing first. I was hoping for a 4-2 map (3-3 is unrealistic) but the state GOP really blew it on this one.

Has to go back to the senate, this version is different than the one passed by the senate last week. The Oregon senate is scheduled to meet later this afternoon.

In those speeches the GOP said they are only here cause they don't want the SoS drawing their lines...so productive hostage taking I guess from the OR Dems.

Have the proposed legislative maps been submitted yet?

[Minnesota Mike]

Congressional maps pass the Oregon House 33-16(?). Back to Senate.

[Minnesota Mike]

Have the proposed legislative maps been submitted yet?

Yes. They have also passed the senate in there current form so they just need to pass the House and be signed by governor.

And it passes the senate. On to the governor.

First in the nation, passing a beautiful fair map that is representative of Oregon voters!

It doesn't get much better than Oregon, folks.

What are you talking about? This map is rotten.

Gerrymandering is OK when my party does it!

(until redistricting reform passes nationwide, in which case stuff like this is not OK )

I love your state!

[NOVA Green]

Good deal.... regardless of either map, looks like now I am getting bumped from CD-04 to CD-05 (Like has happened back and forth so many times over the years).

Bummer I won't have DeFazio representing me anymore, but like I said at least give me a chance to vote against Schrader in the DEM Primary in 2022 to send a message not to mess with Biden's agenda in order to showboat his "Centrist Credentials", which won't help him at all with PUBs in the district, but will definitely hurt him with DEM defections to 3rd party candidates in the future if he's not careful.

Democrats off to an early lead in the redistricting wars in terms of actually passed maps, I suppose, with one new seat under their belt plus DeFazio substantially shored up. Beautiful stuff, was worried it'd get derailed

[Horus]

Any idea who will run in the new district?

[patzer]

Does anyone know if the new map's available to view in DRA anywhere?

Here. I wish DRA had 2020 data for Oregon.

Great map. All other states with D control should take note, this is how it's done.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Oregon Democrats are awesome. If only the national Democrats could be as efficient as them.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Lol at the idea Oregon democrats are awesome . They have completely driven this state into the ground and Oregon republicans with their gross incompetence have basically enabled them to do so .

How is Oregon "into the ground"? Seems to be doing pretty well.

Oregon ranks #21 in MHI according to this site at $62,800

Oregon ranks #27 in MHI using the Statistical Atlas numbers at $53.3k:

https://statisticalatlas.com/United-States/Household-Income#figure/state

It looks like the chart you presented adjusts MHI based upon the Cost of Living...

If so that is surely more a factor with the lack of affordable housing in many parts of the state, which quite frankly has very little to do with the Democratic Government in the state and much more to do with banks and building companies priorities, and quite possibly the reality that since the Great Recession there has been very little investment nationally in building new affordable housing.

One could make a strong argument that the high rates of homelessness are also closely correlated with the lack of affordable housing, and again very little to do with the Democratic Gvt in Salem.

The issue is extremely strict zoning laws and democrats inability to ever consider housing supply when crafting housing policy .
