Michigan Private Redistricting Teleconference Featuring Detroit Land Bank Authority Legal Genius Michael Brady - 2-27-2020

Oh, lookie!

Michael Brady is on the redistricting team.

Michael has alot of experience in gerrymandering through fake ass private organizations.

Jocelyn Benson has alot of experience when it comes to making up her own rules, with advice and consent of fake ass private organizations, too.

I would go, but I am not credentialed media, which is a good thing because I would just publish their own words coming from their mouths, including the audience comments, and use it against them.

I bet they are going to produce a fancy video with cute memes and hashtags about all their redistricting efforts, but will forget the history, because they are bleachbitting legacy, which is why I do what I do.

LOCATION:
Via conference call – Please RSVP to Mike Doyle of the Michigan Department of State at DoyleM@Michigan.gov or 517-335-3264 to receive the conference call number.

WHAT:
Press teleconference to discuss applicant demographics and selection methodology for Michigan’s Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.

More than 3,000 applications – nearly half of the more than 6,000 received to date – for the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission have been processed. This total, as measured through Feb. 26, means Michigan has already received far more applications than the minimum required by the constitution. A profile of Michigan’s pool of applicants whose applications have already been processed will be available at RedistrictingMichigan.org. The data will be updated regularly as more applications are processed.

In addition, the public comment period is open through March 27 for the weighted selection methodology proposed to identify the 200 semifinalists from whom the commission’s 13 members will ultimately be randomly selected – four affiliated with the Republican Party, four affiliated with the Democratic Party and five who do not affiliate with either major party.

During the teleconference, state officials will discuss how the random selection process for the 200 semifinalist applicants will “mirror, as closely as possible, the geographic and demographic makeup of the state” as required by the Michigan Constitution. Officials will emphasize that Michigan voters can continue to apply through the June 1, 2020, deadline.

Michigan voters amended the state constitution in 2018 to give the responsibility for drawing state and congressional electoral districts to a randomly selected, independent commission of citizens. The Michigan Department of State launched the application process for the commission in October 2019. It will conclude on June 1. The constitution designates the secretary of state as administrator of the application and selection process for the commission, as well as “secretary without a vote” providing administrative support to the commission once formed.

More information on the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission is available at RedistrictingMichigan.org.
