I think than we should draw a population equality map, and after, follow the Afleitch process for the states wanting to change regions.

A 3 region split trying to attain a similar number of voters in each regions would at best look like this



DWTL's split would leave 2 regions with 40+ voters and the Southeast with about 25 or so. Any carve up into 3 would have to be a variation on West/Central/East.

That's much better. That does not look like a RPP gerrymandering.

In the past, for redistricting, we used the number of voters in the last Presidential election for population purposes. I think it might be preferable to the number of registered voters.
I was just thinking the same thing.  The West contained about 10 SDP voters that have never participated in Atlasia.

Pacific, not West. And we don't like those inactive voters, even if they are in our party.

As I've said, I object to any map that does not keep all of the Old Confederacy in one region.

Well, we have to break up with the past to go forward. All regions will do sacrifices, I don't understand why you shouldn't.

By the way, you are not a delegate, you are a felon.

Rather than doing it by arbitrary geographic means, why don't we look up partisan distribution by state and use that to make competitive regions (i.e., ones with relatively equal numbers of RPP, JCP, SDP, DA)?

Impossible, because of the JCP and of the RPP. Too concentrated in the same place.

I don't think population and/or parties should be considered.  It is way to easy to self-gerrymand as the RPP has proved

Population is a good way to avoid unintentional gerrymandering, like you have proven.
