Redistricting Plan

This good government map splits only a single county, Knox, and keeps intact nearly every town in the state. Planscore.org assesses this plan as having 0% partisan bias, and the efficiency gap is almost non-existent. The plan is reasonably compact—CD-1 is somewhat U-shaped, but that merely reflects the state’s existing county lines. The plan also avoids carving up Kennebec county, which has often been significantly divided (though the cost is moving Camden into CD-2). On the whole, this plan keeps communities of interest together, and likely meets the generic state law requirement that the districts be “compact and contiguous, and that they cross political subdivision lines as few times as possible.”
