Just in case you wanted to spend your Friday night looking at redistricting maps (and let's be honest, some of you do) the @ArizonaIRC has new congressional and legislative maps ready to go. LD map 14.0 and CD maps 11.0, 11.1 and 11.2 are here. redistricting-irc-az.hub.arcgis.com/pages/final-dr…

LD map 14.0 takes the LD map approved today, adds 5 Latino Coalition districts, shifts some lines around in the West Valley, and moves a few thousand people from LD14 to LD13. irc-az.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/vi…

CD map 11.0. The primary change from the previous map is that it took the blocks of Glendale east of Luke AFB out of CD7 and CD3 and moved them into CD9. irc-az.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/vi…

CD map 11.1 takes the 11.0 map and incorporates Mehl's proposed changes in the border between CD6 (yellow) and CD7 (brown), which brings CD6 from R+0.8% to R+4.9%. The boundary between Broadway and the river now goes out to Craycroft. irc-az.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/vi…

CD map 11.2 takes the 11.0 and adds Lerner's proposal to move Casa Grande from CD6 to CD2, and move Gold Canyon from CD2 to CD5. CD6 goes from R+0.8% to R+0.2%. CD2 shaves a mere 0.2% off the GOP advantage, which is still at R+6.6%. irc-az.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/vi…

The biggest differences between LD maps 13.1 and 14.0 are in the VRA districts. Map 14.0 uses the Latino Coalition's proposals for LDs 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in Maricopa County. Here's a side-by-side comparison.

One more noteworthy change between LD maps 13.1 and 14.0 is the addition of an earlier Latino Coalition plan for LD21, which snakes along the border to take Bisbee and gives up eastern Santa Cruz County to LD19. The original plan had the arm going all the way to Douglas.
