Redistricting 101
Four ways maps can dilute voting power.
Plain-language terms that show up in the cases below.
-
Cracking Splitting one community across many districts so its vote is too small to win anywhere.
Impact: Neighbors who share schools, roads, and services lose a shared representative.
-
Packing Squeezing as many voters of one community as possible into a single district to limit their influence elsewhere.
Impact: One safe seat, with fewer competitive districts nearby.
-
Dilution Drawing lines so a community's combined vote no longer carries the weight its size should give it.
Impact: A growing population sees no growth in representation.
-
Fake majority A district that looks like a community of color majority on paper but is drawn so the community cannot actually elect its preferred candidate.
Impact: The map shows representation that the math does not deliver.
If this is happening in your community, document it and contact lawmakers. Write a letter

Unity Maps proposed but not adopted
Coalition opportunity districts proposed by the NAACP, GALEO, People's Agenda, and Urban League in October 2021 that were not included in the enacted maps. Sharing these alternatives is part of a public record of what equal representation could have looked like.
