Redistricting

This is my understanding at the moment concerning redistricting.

The 2011 Census says we are 73.5% African American and that leaves 26.5% for everyone else.

The next part of what I understand is when we redistrict we need to be working toward these figures in each district.

We may vary the above percentages by 10%. This would mean 5% on either side of 73.5% and 26.5%. The actual variances would be from 78.5% and 68.5% and 31.5% and 21.5% respectively.

I hope the Board of Supervisors and Bridges and Watson are working towards these figures.
