Federal law requires that districts don't deviate too much from the target population. For state legislative districts, a deviation of 5% is allowed. For congressional districts, a deviation of I think 1000 people is allowed

What you propose certainly seems reasonable to me.

The districts? Or Michigan annexing Lucas and Wood Counties?

Canton and Wayne are on MI 12 on the way to Ann Arbor, and they're all quite milennialish. Ann Arbor fits in with those better than it does with any of the other options, such as Lenawee, Downriver, Livingston, or Jackson. It's probably the best option. Monroe County wouldn't be such a problem if Lu...

I agree that Detroit should have been unified.

Monroe County would fit in with unified Downriver and Dearborn/Dearborn Heights.

Ann Arbor and the eastern townships of Washtenaw County should be with South Lyon and NW Wayne County

I have not yet seen the draft U.S. Congressional map.

Do you have a URL where it can be found? I would love to take a look at it.

The state senate draft map is alright. But the congressional map is really bad. District 1 puts Melvindale and Allen Park with distant communities like Center Line. District 7 puts South Downriver communities like Wyandotte and Woodhaven with distant areas that they have very little in common with s...

Detroit has gone down to 639K from 713K in 2010. Duggan thinks the city was undercounted, I don't doubt it. Dearborn has reached 109K (98K in 2010). Canton (90K in 2010) came close to reaching 100K, but only got to 98K, and Livonia (which had 96K in 2010) actually decreased to 95K. So Wayne County n...

Man, you missed a golden opportunity to use the name "Vaccination or Termination?"

I actually really like these channels. I just discovered the Curse of Oak Island, and I am hooked. I just wish they wouldn't have marathon scheduling every day.

Windsor: Yep, Doozy became TrueReal.

Metalhead: WXYZ already has dual HD. 20.1 is on their signal. So don't count on Bounce in HD

And Court TV is in HD now. I didn't think that WPXD would affiliate with any non-Scripps owned diginets. Don't expect Rewind TV to end up on 31 though, GetTV pays their affiliates, Rewind and Antenna dont. Still pretty cool I am looking forward to Defy and TrueReal. I don't know why Storage Wars is ...

This is just so sad. I don't know how someone can do that to a poor little defenseless birdy.

Assuming that WMYD doesn't dump Antenna TV, I'd say the most likely place that Rewind TV will end up is WDIV 4.5

Maybe if enough of us email WMYD and let them know that we want Rewind TV, they'll change their minds and carry it

Don't know if this is the right info, even though Nextar doesnt have a station in Det doesnt mean Ant tv will be dropped. Det doesnt have a Tegna station and Twist still went to WADL. If you notice on WMYD they have added a 20.4 in anticipation of Rewind tv.Yes it has HSN until the launch in Sept o...
