So I want to make sure I explain what this means. First, these maps are fair. We're aiming to to make sure every party has a fair shake at winning the legislature. Under these maps, it's more likely that each party will win a majority of legislative seats when they earn the majority of their votes. Common sense. Second, these maps are responsive. Under these maps, we'll see more competitive contested races by making it more likely the legislative districts will flip from one party's control to another when voters preferences change.
