9:30 start time for the @ArizonaIRC mtg today.Two big items on the agenda. Biggest item is discussion and vote on OFFICIAL DRAFT maps for congress and state legislature. Here is the competitive assessment of the three plans they will look at~~~

9.0 :: this is the plan the incorporates requests by Com. Lerner in addressing the overreach of the 8.0 @SALCLeaders map/not-map.
51%D seat share,
partisan bias 2.4%R,
efficiency gap 0.7%R

9.1 :: this plan incorporates changes requested by @SALCLeaders board member and organizational founder and Republican Commissioner David Mehl to the 8.0 map
50%D seat share,
partisan bias 3.6%R,
efficiency gap 1.6%R

9.2:: this plan ALSO incorporates changes requested by @SALCLeaders board member and organizational founder and Republican Commissioner David Mehl to the 8.0 map -as a "take a look" version
50%D seat share,
partisan bias 3.6%R,
efficiency gap 1.6%R

As a comparison 8.0 map is
50%D seat share,
partisan bias=3.5%R
efficiency gap 1.6%R

In summary, the changes requested by Com. Lerner made the map less based towards republicans; both versions of maps suggested by @SALCLeaders board member and organizational founder and Republican Commissioner David Mehl make the plan more biased in favor of Republicans.

I have not analyzed any of the plans for VRA impacts --but will dissect the OFFICIAL DRAFT plans as soon as they are voted on.
