Redistricting App for All States--Make Your Own District Maps!

[tekisui]

Dave Bradlee

This application requires Silverlight 2.0 (from Microsoft), which runs on both Mac and Windows.
Main Features

* Select state and number of congressional districts (CDs)
* Use mouse to sweep across map and assign block groups or voting districts to CDs
(block groups usually contain about 4 voting districts; using the larger size makes things more manageable)
* Assign block groups according old CDs with one click
* Pan/Zoom
* Save/Open your work in XML (saved in isolated storage)
* Use 2000 census numbers or updated (2008) census estimates
* Show/Unshow city, county and old CDs
* Create area maps of zoomed in areas
* Save state and area maps in XML
(A separate Windows app can read the XML and produce JPGs; Silverlight won't allowing saving as JPGs directly; the Windows app and the schema for the XML are available for download; see Redistricting App Help)

1. I'm afraid Alaska still gets only one.

Hopefully we'll be rid of the vexatious Don Young in 2010. He's been around MUCH too long (since 1972).

2. Montana only gets one also. Hoping he get the boot too

If Rehberg ever had an original thought, it would abandon shit.
