GOP's Senate
redistricting map weakens Detroit, Wayne County
The map, first published

released by the Michigan Senate shortly after noon today. It would result in
significant changes in the boundary lines of most of the state's 38 Senate
districts. Since the GOP controls both chambers of the Legislature and has a
majority of nominees on the Michigan Supreme Court that could ultimately decide
the issue, the map could closely reflect the changes ultimately made to account
for population losses and shifts documented in the recent census.
Wayne
County would drop to seven senators, from eight.
And for the first time,
no Senate district would be wholly contained within the boundaries of the city
of Detroit, meaning it would be possible to have a Michigan Legislature with no
Detroit senators. The current Senate has four senators from Detroit, which over
the last decade saw its population drop by 25 percent, from about 950,000 to
less than 715,000.
However, none of the current Detroit senators would
face off against each other under the new layout. Instead, each of their
Detroit-area districts would be extended further into the suburbs to maintain
the required population levels.
Macomb County, which now has three state
senators, could have as many as four under the Republican plan, though the added
district would take in only the northeast parts of the county combined with St.
Clair, Sanilac and Huron counties.
Oakland County would continue to have
four complete Senate districts and part of a fifth.

official Senate map scheduled to be released later today. The adviser said they
"represent months of diligent work by the Senate Redistricting Committee and are
born of a fair, legal and constitutional process."
Democrats, who are
also expected to release proposed maps, have complained they have been shut out
of a process that is too rushed. Similar complaints have been voiced by public
interest groups such as Common Cause of Michigan and Progress Michigan.
"Given the seriousness of this issue, we are studying these maps very
closely to ensure that the Republican maps don't prioritize protecting
incumbents over compliance with federal and state law or the rights of
Michigan's voters," said Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer, D-East
Lansing.

issued a statement today saying she would release maps Monday.
Lawmakers
have until Nov. 1 to pass redistricting laws, but Republicans say they want to
finish work before breaking for the summer on July 1. In addition to the
Michigan Senate districts, lawmakers are drawing maps for Michigan House and
U.S. congressional districts. As a result of all the changes, millions of
Michigan residents could find themselves in new districts with different
lawmakers representing them.
