As
you
know,
we
did
hear
senate
bill
1
in
a
joint
hearing
on
saturday,
you
will
recall
that
we
received
considerable
testimony
on
the
measure,
including
valuable
public
input
that
has
helped
us
shape
the
amendment
for
sb1.
A
A
There
is
a
move
additionally
to
move
the
walker
river
paiute
reservation
entirely

The

updates
maps
to
I'm
sorry
those
were
the
updates
we
also
on
saturday
or,
as
we
did
on
saturday,
our
legislative

has
been
asked
to
present
only
the
factual
highlights
of
the
proposed
amendment
and
describe
the
geographic
popu
population
and
demographic
changes
set
forth
in
the
sb1
amendment.
They
will
not
be
able
to
explain
or
answer
questions
relating
to
the
rationale
or
reasons
for
a
particular
mapping
choice.
Instead,
lcb
staff
will
cover
the
informational
aspects
of
the
amendment
and
highlight
adjustments
proposed
in
the
amendment.
A
Our

They

I

I
understand
you'll

minutes
to

A
D
D
D
All
right
I'll
get
started
while
they're
getting
passed
out
if
it's
okay,
okay,
good
morning,
chair
miller
and
members
of
the
assembly
select
committee
on
redistricting
and
elections,
as
tara
miller
noted,
I
am
michael
stewart
with
the
research
division
of
the
legislative
council
bureau
and
joining
me
today
is
haley
pearl
our

the
research
division
and
kathy
steinle
gi
specialist,
with
lcb's

services
unit.
D
We've
been
asked
today
to
provide
factual
information
regarding
the
amendment
you
have
before
you
this
morning
relating
to
sb1
of
the
33rd
special
session,
and
before
we
begin,
I
must
remind
you
of
our
standard
lcb
disclosure
that
as
central
nonpartisan
staff,
we
cannot
advocate
for
the
passage
or
defeat
of
any
legislation
or
in
this
case
any
reapportionment
or
registering
proposal
or
any
amendment.
There
too.
D
We
will
not
be
able
to
answer
questions
relating
to
the
rationale
of
why
district
boundary
may
or
may
have
been
drawn
one
way,
and
not
the
other
as
those
were
decisions
made
by
the
authors
of
sb1
and
the
and
the
proposed
amendment
you
have
with
each
plan
congressional
state,
senate
and
assembly,
ms
parole,
as
she
did
on
saturday.
We'll
start
with
the
explanation
of
the
key
changes
proposed
in
the
geographic
components
and
features
of
the
overall
plan
and
some
district
specific
information.
D
Ms
steinle
will
follow
with
an
overview
of
any
amendments
to
the
district
population
and
relevant
deviations
from
the
ideal
population,
as
well
as
other
related
statistical
data.
And,
finally,
I
will
highlight
certain
information
impacted
by
the
proposed
amendment
regarding
race
and
ethnic
minority
concentrations,
and
you
should
have
before
you
the
copies
of
the
associated
maps
and
tables
for
the
amendment
and
for
members
of
the
public
and
those
falling
over
the
internet.
D
E
The
congressional
plan
will
probably
be
the
shortest
summary
that
I'll
give
the
changes
were
pretty
minor
with
the
amendment,
but
the
changes
include
moving
the
entirety
of
the
walker
river
paiute
reservation
into
congressional
district.
Four
and
congressional
district.
Two
also
gained
some
area
in
lyon
county
in
this
in
the
south
in
clark,
county
districts,
1
and
3
saw
various
minimal
changes
along
their
borders,
and
the
counties
that
are
divided
among
congressional
districts
in
this
plan
include
clark,
county
churchill,
lyon
and
lincoln
counties
I'll
pass
it
over
to
ms
steinle.
F
F
D
D
So
for
the
white
only
category
the
the
change
for
district
one
was
a
negative
two
2777
in
district
2.
It
was
a
plus
of
84
persons
in
district
3.
It
was
an
increase
of
726
persons,
and
district
4
was
at
increase
of
1976
persons
for
black
or
african
american
in
district
one.
It
was
a
change
of
minus
13..
D
D
for
asian.
It
was
a
change
of
negative
775
and
district
1
negative
1
in
district
2,
plus
48
in
district
3
and
plus
728
in
district
4.,
and
then
in
native
hawaiian
pacific
islander
district
1
saw
a
decrease
of
81.
There
was
no
change
in
district
2.
district
3
had
a
decrease
of
41
and
district
4
had
increase
of
122.
D
and
then
some
other
race
alone.
The
district
district
1
there
was
a
change
of
minus
2219,
a
increase
of
two
in
district
two
and
a
decrease
of
314
in
district
three
and
a
decrease
of
1907
in
district
four,
two
or
more
races.
There
was
an
increase
of
821
in
district,
one:
a
decrease
of
five
in
district,
two,
a
increase,
I
think
of
one
of
134
in
district
three
and
a
decrease
of
950
in
district
four
and
then
finally,
hispanic
in
district
one.
There
was
an
increase
of
3774
in
district
two.
E
Haley
pearl
for
the
record
for
the
senate
plan.
The
proposed
amendment
retains
a
21
district
senate
plan,
but
makes
changes
to
six
of
the
senate
districts
in
the
bill,
all
of
which
are
located
in
the
northern
and
western
parts
of
the
state.
The
districts
with
changes
include
numbers
13
through
17
and
19.
E
F
F
D
Again,
michael
stewart
for
the
record,
turning
to
the
racial
categories
and
again,
I'd
like
to
point
out
on
on
in
the
senate
plan
the
district,
the
districts
impacted.
The
numbers
changed
in
this
for
this
category
or
this
table
where
districts,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17
and
19,
and
those
were
the
results
of
boundary
changes
as
part
of
this
amendment.
D
So
just
looking
at
the
high
and
low
changes
district
14
for
the
white
alone,
category
had
a
a
high
change
of
2294
and
a
district
excuse
me
had
a
head
of
the
low
change
gives
me
1886
and
district
19
had
the
high
change
of
294.
D
D
Oh
sure,
please
so
yeah
so
back
on
the
white
alone,
the
highest
percentage
change
was
in
district
at
excuse
me,
the
highest
negative
percentage
change.
Excuse
me
was
negative.
0.95
percent,
so
close
to
1,
the
highest
plus
percentage
was
0.56
plus
increase
for
white
alone
category
in
district
19.,
again
turning
to
the
black
or
african
american
I'm,
including
black
or
african-american,
with
another
race.
D
The
change
in
district
13
was
the
was
the
highest
negative
change
and
that
was
a
loss
of
176
with
a
percentage
of
negative
0.09
percent,
and
that
was
the
range
there.
D
D
D
Under
the
some
other
race
category
district
14,
the
highest
pickup
in
the
in
this
category,
was
737
persons,
and
that
was
a
0.55
increase
and
the
largest
loss
was
689
persons
in
senate
district
13,
and
that
was
a
0.35
percent
decrease.
D
The
largest
increase
was
in
district
14
at
987
persons,
and
the
largest
decrease
was
1052
in
district
13.
district
14.
That
increase
represented
0.79
percent
and
district
13.
That
decrease
represented
a
negative
0.49
percent,
and
that
covers
the
general
statistics
for
us
for
the
senate
side
and
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
haley.
E
district
25,
which
is
wholly
within
washoe
county
and
contains
portions
of
reno
lost
some
areas
of
west
reno,
but
gained
additional
areas
in
central
and
south
reno
district
26.
Another
district
wholly
contained
within
washoe
county
along
the
western
edge
of
the
state
and
including
incline
village
and
portions
of
reno,
now
contains
the
town
of
verdi,
which
was
previously
in
district
32..
E
E
district
32,
which
was
established
by
sb1
to
include
all
of
humboldt
and
pershing
counties
and
portions
of
elko.
Eureka.
Lander
and
washoe
counties
now
contains
all
of
lander
county
portions
of
elko
county,
including
the
city
of
carlin,
are
moved
out
of
district
32
and
into
district
33,
which
contains
portions
of
elko,
eureka,
lincoln
and
nye
counties
and
all
of
white
pine
county
district
36,
which
contains
portions
of
clark,
county
and
portions
of
pahrump
and
nye
county,
saw
minimal
change
to
include
roughly
three
additional
square
miles
of
the
pahrump
area.
E
There
are
seven
counties
that
are
divided
among
assembly
districts
in
the
amendment
and
those
include
clark,
elko,
eureka,
lincoln
lion,
nye
and
washoe,
and
all
assembly
districts
are
nested
within
senate
districts.
In
this
amendment,
as
was
the
case
in
the
original
bill,
and
so
two
assembly
districts
are
wholly
contained
within
one
senate
district
and
those
pairings
are
actually
on
the
senate
table
the
assembly
districts
that
that
are
within
each
senate
district.
F
For
the
record
kathy
steinle,
redistricting,
specialist,
its
legislative
and
council
bureau,
the
ideal
population
for
for
a
42
district
assembly
plan
is
73
9119
in
the
amended
assembly
plan.
The
largest
positive
deviation
is
in
district
33
and
is
1215,
which
is
one
point.
Six
four
percent,
the
largest
negative
deviation
is
in
district
38
and
is
minus
two
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
one,
which
is
minus
three
point:
zero
five
percent.
F
D
Turning
to
american,
indian
and
alaska
native,
including
american
idiot
and
alaska
native
with
any
other
race,
the
the
change,
the
district
with
the
highest
change
and
that
category
was
assembly
district
33
with
an
increase
of
74
persons,
and
that
amounts
to
a
statistical
change
of
zero.
D
And
then
the
low
was
district
30
at
minus
negative
65
and
that's
a
statistical
change
of
0.02.
D
Turning
to
asian
and
asian
with
another
race,
the
district
gaining
the
most
and
that's
in
in
this
category
is
district
31
with
an
increase
of
378
persons
and
that's
a
percent
change
of
positive
0.57.
D
The
district
with
the
with
the
largest
loss
was
negative
57
in
district
30,
with
a
negative
0.05.
D
Some
other
race
alone
category,
the
high
increase
in
this
category,
was
and
found
in
district
32
with
plus
424
persons,
with
an
increase
of
0.63
percent.
The
largest
loss
is
a
negative
689
and
district
30,
and
that's.
D
The
district
with
the
negative
loss
in
this
category
is
district
30
at
negative
323
and
that's
a
negative
0.21
percent,
then
finally,
hispanic
or
latino
of
any
race.
The
district
picking
up
the
the
most
in
this
category
was
district
32
at
plus
674
or
an
increase
of
1.03
percent,
and
the
district
with
the
highest
number
loss
is
1052
persons
and
that's
a
negative
0.84,
and
I
think
that
covers
it.
I
apologize
for
all
the
statistics,
but
that's
what
redistricting
is
a
lot
about
right.
So
we'll
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
if
we
can.
A
And
thank
you
for
that
presentation
before
I
open
it
up
to
questions
from
our
members.
I
just
want
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
time
to
call
in
that's
interested
in
testifying
through
the
phone
lines
is
that
we
do
have
spanish
translation
services
today.
So
if
there's
anyone
that
will
be
speaking
in
spanish,
we
do
have
translation
services
available
today.
So
that
way
we
have
a
few
minutes
for
people
to
call
in
while
we're
in
our
questions
section.
So
with
that
members
do
we
have
any
questions
for
our
lcb
staff?
A
Okay,
first
question
will
be
from
vice
chair
yeager,.
H
Thank
you
so
much.
Madam
chair,
I
just
had
a
question
for
legal,
so
probably
mr
killian's,
the
best
one
to
answer
but
and
just
looking
at
some
of
the
overall
deviation
numbers,
I
believe
changed
somewhat
in
these
proposed
maps,
and
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
or
get
a
legal's
opinion
that
the
deviations
proposed
in
the
maps
we
have
seen
are
legally
defensible
in
legal's
opinion.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
asher,
killian
committee
council,
so
this
may
be
repeating
a
little
bit
of
the
information
the
committee
has
heard
before,
but
generally
a
redistricting
plan
for
state
legislative
districts
is
defensible
so
long
as
the
deviation
is
less
than
percent
overall,
so
less
than
plus
or
minus
five
percent
in
the
individual
districts
and
this
plan
is
still
well
under
that
amount.
I
The
deviation
has
increased
from
the
previous
plan,
but
I
believe
the
overall
deviations
were
in
the
neighborhood
of
four
to
five
percent,
which
is
still
well
under
that
10
percent
overall
threshold.
A
Our
next
question
again,
I
just
want
to
remind
members
too,
that
questions
will
only
be
pertaining
specifically
to
the
proposed
amendment,
because
we
have
already
had
a
hearing
on
the
actual
senate
bill.
So
with
that
assemblyman
matthews.
J
Yes,
thank
you
chair
good
morning
and
thank
you
to
all
of
our
presenters.
I
wanted
to
stay
on
that
that
same
topic,
and
so
I've
got
just
a
few
questions,
but
they
all
do
pertain
to
the
issue
of
population
size
and
deviation
from
the
ideal.
J
I
know
that
in
the
hearing
on
this
bill,
I
and
some
others
express
some
concerns
on
that
topic
and
the
reason
I
keep
coming
back
to
it
and
the
reason
I
think
it's
so
important
is
that
one
of
the
actual
constitutional
requirements
you
know
governing
the
redistricting
process
is
that
we
we
minimize
those
deviation
levels.
So
my
questions
for
miss
steinle
just
to
make
sure
that
I've
got
a
clear
understanding.
J
J
Proposed
amendment,
but
for
context,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
my
question
has
to
do
with
the
the
change
this
map
compared
to
this
proposed
amended
map
compared
to
the
maps
we
looked
at
on
saturday,
and
so
I'm
just
trying
to
establish
some
context
for
that.
For
that
question.
F
Sorry,
kathy
steinle
for
the
record.
Yes,
the
deviations
in
2011
for
the
state
senate
was
0.80
and
for
the
state
assembly
was
1.33.
J
J
I
think
I
noted
at
the
time
that
that
was
a
significant
increase
in
those
deviation
levels.
We
also
saw
in
that
hearing
some
maps
introduced
from
the
minority
party
and
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
believe
that
in
those
maps
the
deviation
levels
were
0.94
for
the
senate
and
1.06
for
the
assembly
maps.
Is
that
correct.
J
Okay,
regarding
the
amended,
the
proposed
amended
maps,
I
believe-
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
heard
you
accurately
a
few
moments
ago.
The
the
deviation
levels
for
the
senate
would
be
3.95
percent
and
for
the
assembly
would
be
4.69.
Is
that
what
you
said.
J
Okay,
so
I
I
appreciate
that,
and
so,
unless
I
am
missing
something,
it
would
appear
that
these
amended
maps
rather
than
address
or
mitigate
some
of
those
concerns
about
the
the
increase
in
those
deviation
levels
actually
are
going
the
other
direction,
and
under
this
the
amended
version
we
actually
have
even
greater
deviation
from
the
ideal
than
we
saw
in
the
original
sb1.
Is
that
correct.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
and
good
to
see
you
all.
I
can't
wait
for
all
of
us
to
get
more
sleep,
but
especially
for
all
of
you,
because
you
have
been
working
around
the
clock.
I
know,
and
so
I
I'd
like
to
revisit
some
of
the
questions
that
I
asked
on
saturday
as
they
compared
specifically
to
this
new
amendment
in
regards
to
the
splits
of
communities.
Just
so
I
can
get
a
comparison
and
then
I
have
some
other
specific
questions
for
an
assembly
district.
K
E
In
terms
of
tribal
community,
splits
sb1,
the
congressional
plan
originally
split
the
walker
river
paiute
reservation,
and
that
is
no
longer
split
in
the
amendment.
So
there
are
zero
tribal
community
splits
for
the
congressional
plan
for
the
senate
and
assembly
plans,
and
we
looked
at
u.s
census,
bureau,
boundary
data
for
all
of
these
areas.
E
To
compare
which
were
split,
and
so
some
areas
do
include
non-populated
and
populated
regions.
We
don't
have
a
chance
to
look
into
that,
but
what
were
split
on
in
our
analysis
for
the
senate
plan
for
this
amendment
were
the
washoe
ranch's
land
trust,
the
stewart
community,
the
pyramid,
lake,
paiute
reservation,
the
timbi
shah
shoshone
reservation
and
the
reno
sparks
indian
colony.
There
are
a
few
parcels
that
belonging
to
them
in
the
reno
area,.
E
For
the
assembly
plan,
those
same
five
are
split:
the
reno
sparks
indian
colony,
washoe,
ranch's,
land,
trust
pyramid,
lake
pike,
reservation,
timber,
shaw,
shoshone
reservation
and
stewart
community.
E
There
are
a
total
of
seven
cities
and
census
designated
places
split
by
the
congressional
plan,
16
split
by
the
senate
plan
and
21
split
by
the
assembly
plan
for
hoas.
We
did
find
hoa
boundary
data
for
the
city
of
las
vegas,
but
we
were
not
able
to
find
any
other
data
that
we
could
do
this
analysis
with
for
other
parts
of
the
state
and
for
those
hoas.
E
I
have
them
for
the
sv1
bill,
but
I
would
need
to
take
a
look
at
the
updated
figures
for
the
amendments.
I
do
have
that
right
here,
though,.
E
So
the
senate
plan
in
the
amendment
would
split.
E
E
K
E
Yes,
haley
pearl
for
the
record.
Again,
I
do
have
that
information
as
well
for
the
and
these,
I
believe,
are
washoe
county
gids.
K
Thank
you
so
again,
just
recognizing
that
that's
not
the
entire
state,
but
it
gives
us
a
picture
of
splits
and
washoe
for
gids
and
in
clark
or
las
vegas,
specifically
for
hoas.
Madam
chair,
may
I
ask
another
crusade,
thank
you
and
so
appreciate
that
information.
As
you
can
imagine,
I
am
concerned
about
the
whole
state,
and
may
I
just
make
a
note
that
I
was
happy
to
see
the
pizza
slice
that
had
been
taken
out
of
the
congressional
district
for
smith.
K
Valley
has
been
restored,
but
I
I
do
also
want
to
note
that
it
does
still
appear
to
split
now
directly
through
smith
valley.
But
my
question
is
specific
to
assembly
district
25,
and
do
you
happen
to
know
what
percentage
and
or
what
number
of
constituents
that
currently
reside
in
assembly?
District
25
have
been
displaced
to
either
assembly
district,
32
or
assembly
district
26
or
transferred
over
under
this
amended
plan.
E
E
K
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
I'll
look
forward
to
seeing
how
many
of
those
constituents
are
moving
to
another
district,
and
could
you
just
remind
me
again,
under
this
amended
version,
what
the
deviation
is
for
assembly
district,
25.
K
F
E
A
Assemblywoman
told
actually
I'll
come
back
to
you,
I'd
like
to
give
other
members
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions,
so
I
will
circle
back
to
you.
Okay,
with
that
we
have
questions
from
assemblywoman
benitez
thompson.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chairwoman.
I
appreciate
that
and
so
in
this
the
amended
version
of
the
maps.
This
encapsulates
the
additional
data
that
we
were
able
to
receive
from
the
nevada
department
of
corrections
regarding
prisoners
who
lived
in
nevada
who
who
had
addresses,
and
so
that
one.
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
those
that
data
con
in
here
and
reflected
here
and
secondly,
didn't
know
if
you
could
quantify
those
additional
addresses
that
were
or
persons
that
were
added
in.
E
E
The
that
is
correct.
These
these
maps
use
the
additional
inmate
addresses
that
were
reallocated
and
there
were
a
total
of
1
612
inmates
that
that
were
reallocated
the
throne
and
thank
you
and
then
just.
B
To
to
to
do
a
follow-up,
the
amendments
that
we
are
seeing
are
the
only
proposed
maps
that
do
include
those
the
data
from
the
nevada
department
of
corrections,
correct.
E
Daily
pro
for
the
record
correct
that
only
maps
with
the
added
data.
H
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
asher,
killian
committee
council,
and
with
your
indulgence,
I'll
repeat
a
little
bit
of
that
information
from
the
previous
hearing.
So
in
the
2011
redistricting
process,
the
legislature
did
pass
two
redistricting
bills,
both
of
which
were
vetoed
by
the
governor.
I
So,
as
a
result,
the
task
of
redistricting
fell
to
the
courts
and
the
district
court
here
in
carson
city
appointed
three
special
masters
to
conduct
the
redistricting
process
and
assigned
a
number
of
rules
for
the
special
masters
to
follow
when
doing
that.
Redistricting.
Typically,
when
redistricting
falls
to
the
courts
rather
than
the
legislature,
the
courts
follow
traditional
districting
principles
in
an
attempt
to
keep
any
sort
of
partisanship
out
of
the
process.
I
Part
of
the
direction
given
to
the
special
masters
by
the
court
in
2011
was
to
minimize
overall
deviations,
and
that
was
made
a
priority
by
the
court.
I
believe
the
standard
that
the
court
established
is
that
in
no
event
could
any
district
have
a
deviation
of
more
than
two
percent
and
the
target
deviation
was
0.5
percent.
I
I
So
the
amendment
the
amended
plan
before
the
committee
right
now
has
a
deviation
of
between
four
and
five
percent
for
the
assembly
and
the
senate
districts,
which
is
still
well
under
that
10
percent
overall
standard.
That
applies
to
the
legislature,
even
though
it
is
greater
than
the
standard
that
the
court
applied
when
drawing
maps
itself,
but
the
legislature
has
much
more
freedom
for
a
higher
level
of
deviation
than
the
court
assigned
to
itself
during
that
2011
process.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
and
vice
chair
is,
has
concluded
his
questioning.
Thank
you,
mr
killian.
Next
we
have
assemblyman
levitt.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
in
accordance
with
the
new
amended
maps,
how
I'm
looking
at
it
when
we're
talking
about
some
of
the
demographic
information,
it
looks
like
cd1
on
the
congressional
map.
Cd1
was
at
42
when
you're
talking
about
the
hispanic
latino
population
and
it
dropped
to
36.
Is
that
am
I
reading
that
right.
D
Thank
you,
sorry
for
pulling
out
the
data
for
the
record
michael
stewart.
So
in
the
proposed
amendment,
let
me
start
with
the
sb1
unamended,
for
you
said
cd1.
The
percentage
of
hispanic
was
35.45.
L
L
D
Michael
stewart
for
the
record-
I
did
a
quick,
just
didn't-
have
a
whole
lot
of
time
this
morning,
but
I
did
a
quick
analysis
of
you
know
on
saturday.
You
asked
which
ones
were
you
know
how
many
we
had
above
a
certain
threshold,
and
I
wanted
to
see
if
there
was
any
change
in
in
any
of
those
districts
that
sort
of
were
at
the
top,
and
so
I
quickly
looked
at
senate
because
then
that
sense
were
nested.
That
would
probably
show
the
same
reflect
the
same
answers
and
from
what
I
could
quickly
tell.
D
There
were
no
changes
in
those
sort
of
top
categories
throughout
throughout
the
senate
plan
and
the
assembly
plan.
D
D
A
You're
welcome
next,
we
assemblywoman
tolls.
Do
you
have
additional
questions
still.
K
Yes,
madam
chair,
thank
you
so
just
to
be
clear.
I
know
that
we
have
diversified
immensely
over
this
last
10
years
since
the
2010
census,
and
if
I
heard
you
correctly,
we
have
not
added
any
districts
that
add
or
increase
more
of
the
minority
voice,
either
in
hispanic
black
or
asian.
Is
that
correct?
K
D
D
So
in
2011
there
were
seven
districts
that
were,
I
guess
above
40
percent
hispanic
in
the
assembly
there
were
three
districts
that
had
over
20
percent
in
the
black
or
african-american
community
and
again
in
2011.
There
were
three
districts
that
were
over
20
percent
in
the
asian
category.
D
There
are
seven
districts
in
the
hispanic
category
in
the
assembly
that
are
over
40
percent,
the
proposed
amendment.
There
are
five
districts
over
20
percent
in
the
black
or
african
american
community,
again
in
the
assembly
and
in
the
assembly,
and
this
proposed
amendment.
There
are
four
asian,
including
asian,
with
another
race
districts
over
20
percent.
K
K
K
Okay,
I
have
down
that
it
was
eight
today,
five
black
eight
hispanic
over
forty
percent,
currently
in
2020
five
black
and
five
asian,
which
means
actually
that
we
lost
one
district.
According
to
this
new
amended
proposal
down
to
seven
for
hispanic
representation
over
forty
percent,
we
kept
the
same
at
five
for
the
black
community
and
we
lost
for
the
asian
community
at
four
proposed
districts
and
I'm
happy
to
be
corrected.
If
that's
wrong,.
D
Yeah
we're
looking,
we
don't
have
the
unamended
in
front
of
us
at
the
moment,
but
I
can
give
you
the
senate
right
now
that
we're
just
talking
about
for
2011
and
in
this
amended
proposal
we'll
see
we
can
find
for
your
other
question.
Thank
you.
D
Okay
again,
madam
chair
for
the
record
michael
stewart,
so
in
2011
this
is
the
state
senate
plan.
There
were
five
hispanic
districts
over
40
percent
in
this
amended
in
the
proposed
amendment.
D
There
are
four
over
40
percent
in
2011,
there
were
two
black
or
african
american
senate
districts
that
were
over
20.
The
proposed
amendment
shows
two
in
2011
there
was
one
asian
district
over
20
percent.
The
proposed
amendment
is
two.
D
D
K
You
I'm
just
in
2020
how
many
districts,
according
to
the
census,
are
represented
at
each
of
those
levels,
so
over
40
hispanic
over
20
black
over
20
asian,
so
in
other
words,
how
many
districts
meet
those
criteria
today
in
representation
currently
and
then
how
much
will
this
proposal-
and
I
think
we
already
established
that
this
proposal
gives
us
seven
assembly
districts
with
over
forty
percent,
five
black
over
twenty
percent
and
four
asian
over
twenty
percent,
and
I
just
would
like
to
know
if
we
are
gaining
losing
or
keeping
the
same
as
what
we
have
today
sitting
in
the
63
among
us.
D
I
think
sorry
about
that.
We're
trying
we're
going
to
look
on
the
website
to
see
if
we
have
that
specific
question,
because
if
you're
asking
for
the
current
data,
I
see
we're
seeing
what
you're
getting
at
so
we're
going
to
see
if
we
can
find
it
and
if
we
may
just
follow
up
in
a
little
bit
and
miss
steinle
is
going
to
look
it
up
for
you.
If
we
can
do
that,
thank
you
for
your
patience.
A
Okay,
sure,
and
as
soon
as
you're
ready
just
let
us
know
so,
and
we
will
circle
back
to
that
question.
Okay,
now
we
have
a
question
from
assem:
okay,
assemblywoman,
monroe,
moreno.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
have
a
question
about.
As
we
look
at
the
state
of
nevada,
we
have
a
large
number
of
non-white
districts
within
the
63
districts.
Can
you
tell
us
how
many
non-white
districts
we
had
in
2011
because,
as
I
look
at
it-
and
please
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
of
the
63
districts,
that
we
have
right
now,
29
of
those
districts
are
majority
non-white
districts
which
means
that
hispanics
blacks,
indigenous
asian
americans
and
are
growing
throughout
our
state,
not
in
one
specific
area
of
our
state.
D
Again
for
the
record
I
might
need
to
madam
chair,
I
might
need
to
clarify
with
miss
monroe
moreno,
I'm
looking
at
the
just
the
senate,
for
example
in
2011,
and
since
those
are
nested,
it
might
kind
of
apply
across
the
board.
So
if
I
look
at,
if
you
look
at
sort
of
the
the
white
alone
categories
in
2011,
trying
to
think
of
something
that
would
sort
of
constitute
where
white
race
was
below
50
percent,
that
was
in
districts
in
the
senate,
was
district
2
district
4.
D
I
think
just
district
2
and
4
right.
So
then
that
would
suggest
that
the
remaining
minority
categories
added
up
to
something
higher
than
50
percent.
D
So
and
then
we
can
do
a
quick
okay
and
then
that
same
scenario
in
2011
districts
in
the
assembly,
district,
6,
7,
12.
D
And
28
were
below
the
50
threshold
in
the
white
alone
category,
and
so
so
with
that,
let
me
take
a
look
at
our
current
numbers
and
then
we
can.
I
can
tell
you
where
those
white
loan
categories
then
fell
below
the
50
stand
by
one
sec.
D
Okay,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
your
patience
and
assembling
daniel
monroe
moreno
doing
some
calculations
on
the
fly,
but
so
I
just
told
you
the
assembly
in
2011
had
five
districts
in
the
white
alone,
category
that
were
below
five
fifty
percent.
D
This
proposed
amendment
has
twenty
now
that
are
below
fifty
percent,
which
would
suggest
that
all
the
other
races
on
the
table
total
up
to
higher
than
50
of
them.
If
that
helps
on
the
assembly.
D
Oh,
I
marked
it.
Okay,
I
think
in
the
senate
I
mentioned
that
there
were
two
districts
in
2011
that
were
below
a
50
white
alone
category.
D
This
proposed
amendment
now
reflects
nine
districts
that
were
below
the
fifty
percent
white
alone
category,
so
there's
certainly
an
increase
over
the
decade
in
the
ethnic
minority
populations,
it
looks
generally
across
the
board.
So
thank
you
for
your
patience
as
we
pulled
that.
M
D
Miss
monroe
moreno
based
on
our
quick
calculations,
that's
correct.
Okay,.
M
D
And
again,
in
2011,
the
white
alone
below
50
was
five
districts
in
the
assembly.
This
proposal,
the
amendment
you
have
before
you
today
is
20
below
50
percent.
So
that's
an
increase.
H
M
M
D
A
D
Assemblywoman
told
you'd
asked
what
the
the
current
districts
based
on
2020
census
data
where
that,
where
that
fell,
if
it
as
we
stand
sort
of
today-
and
I
think
you
mentioned
eight
five
and
five-
and
that
is
correct-
so
eight
hispanic
districts-
current
districts
of
2020
census
data-
would
be
over
40
percent.
D
K
K
So
we
just
heard
about
from
the
last
set
of
questions
from
the
assistant
majority
leader
a
different
way
to
define
that,
so
these
were
broken
out
by
specific
categories
by
race,
and
then
we
just
heard
a
clarification
of
where
we've
grown
from
2011
to
2000
to
this
proposed
plan,
in
the
same
way
that
we
clarified
that
there
was
growth
organically
that
happened
already
in
2020.
K
I
wonder
if
you
could
give
us
the
2020
breakdown
to
the
questions
the
assistant
majority
leader
asked
regarding
how
many
districts
fell
below
the
50
average
and
I
believe
she
she
quoted
29..
So
I
just
want
to
clarify
if
that's
correct,
because
if
we
currently
have
29
and
this
sb1
dips
us
down
to
or
it
gives
us
20
assembly
districts
below
50
and
nine
senate
districts
below
50,
then
once
again,
we
actually
have
seen
no
change
in
sb1
to
what's
currently
represented
no
increase.
D
Okay,
we're
trying
to
look
this
up.
We
have
to
pull
the
20
20
overlays
if
we
can,
while
haley's
doing
that,
I
think
I
can
answer.
I
gave
you
just
the
assembly
just
now
for
the
for
the
2020
overlay,
but
the
senate
in
for
based
on
2020
census
data,
current
districts,
there
would
be
five.
This
is
2020
the
five
hispanic
districts
over
40
and
in
the
senate,
based
on
current
2020
census
data.
There
would
be
two
asian
districts
over
20
percent
and
two
black
or
african
american
districts
over
20.
D
A
D
Yeah,
so
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
yeah.
So
the
way
we
framed
that
answer
was
to
take
existing
districts
that
you
all
are
in
now
with
the
2020
census
data
overlaid
in
that.
So
that's
where
we
got
that
2020
number
was
taking
20
20
census
data
over
in
putting
into
your
existing
districts
as
it
is
now.
A
With
that,
then
we
can
move
on
to
one
final
question
from
assemblyman
matthews.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
actually
had
a
a
follow-up
question
for
mr
killian.
If
I
may,
you
were
asked
by
the
vice
chair.
I
believe
it
was,
and
I'm
gonna
be
paraphrasing
here,
but
you
were
asked
to
sort
of
offer
an
explanation
for
regarding
the
deviation
from
the
ideal
and
what
might
account
for
the
significant
increase
for
the
current
maps
before
us
as
compared
to
2011,
and
I
was
taking
notes
on
what
you
said
and
so
again
I'm
going
to
be
paraphrasing.
J
But
I
believe
what
you
offered
as
an
explanation
included
that
the
2011
process
was
characterized
by
a
stricter
adherence
to
traditional
redistricting
principles
rather
than
by
partisanship,
and
that
that
was
a
key
distinction
between
2011
and
what
happened
then
and
what's
happening
now,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
my
understanding
was
correct
of
what
you
said.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
asher,
killian
committee
counsel,
so
just
to
clarify
in
the
2011
process.
The
maps
ultimately
were
not
drawn
by
the
legislature
after
the
legislature
passed
two
bills
to
draw
maps.
They
were
vetoed
by
the
governor
and
the
governor
declined
to
call
the
legislature
back
into
special
session,
so
the
legislature
was
constitutionally
unable
to
perform
its
responsibility
to
redistrict.
I
As
a
result,
it
fell
to
the
courts.
The
courts
follow
a
different
standard.
The
nevada
constitution
gives
the
legislature
relatively
unlimited
discretion
in
how
it
chooses
to
draw
maps
imposing
only
the
requirement
that
they
be
based
on
census
population,
in
addition
to
the
federal
requirements
for
relatively
equal
population
and
equitable
treatment
of
racial
and
language
minorities.
I
However
nationwide,
whenever
the
task
falls
to
the
courts,
because
it
is
an
important
factor
for
the
courts
to
avoid
any
appearance
of
partisan
bias
in
any
form,
they
traditionally
adhere
much
more
closely
to
traditional
districting
principles
rather
than
exercising
the
full
suite
of
discretion.
That's
made
available
to
the
legislature,
so
in
2011,
when
it
fell
to
the
courts
to
draw
the
maps,
they
adhered
not
only
to
the
traditional
districting
principles,
but
to
a
very
strict
interpretation
of
those
principles.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
haley,
pearl
senior
policy,
analyst
gis
specialist
with
the
research
division
of
lcb.
I
have
an
answer
for
assemblywoman
toll's
question
about
the
number
of
senate
and
assembly
districts
that
are
below
50
white
alone,
with
20
20
population
data,
but
looking
at
the
2011
districts,
so
the
current
districts
as
they
stand
today
with
2020
census
data.
There
are
nine
senate
districts
below
50
white
alone
and
20
assembly
districts
below
50
white
alone.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you
chair
again,
thank
you
for
being
here.
We
know
it's
a
difficult
job.
I
wanted
to
follow
up,
see
if
you've
had
a
time-
and
I
understand
if
you
haven't
I'd,
asked
a
question
on
saturday
about
swinging
districts.
If
we
had
any
historical
data
to
help
us
interpret,
what
swing
really
means?
Is
it
ten
percent?
Is
it
four
percent.
A
A
A
D
Michael
stewart
for
the
record,
so
we've
struggled
with
what
is
defined
as
a
what
constitutes
swing
or
not
swing,
and
that
sort
of
thing
one
consideration
we're
looking
at
is:
how
does
voter
registration
compare
to
election
results,
and
so
that's
what
we
that
might
help
kind
of
compare
that.
D
But
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
look
at
district
by
district
registration
over
the
last
10
years
and
then
overlay
it
on
top
of
election
results,
and
that
might
give
you
some
sort
of
analysis
of
how
registration
versus
general
election
results
kind
of
pair
up
so-
and
I
know
we
started
working
on
that,
but
we
didn't
quite
finish
it
yet
so,
but
we.
A
Can
follow
up
with
you?
Let
me
let
me
ask
this
question,
mr
killian:
is
there
a
legal
definition
of
what
a
swing
district
is.
I
I
The
only
related
concept
that
gets
applied
is
the
interim
redistricting
study
before
the
2021
session
made
a
recommendation
on
which
election
databases
to
use
on
the
basis
of
which
elections
had
been
most
competitive,
to
be
useful
in
the
redistricting
process.
There
was
no
legal
definition
that
applied
there
either.
I
I
think
the
the
rubric
used
by
the
committee
was
just
to
choose
the
closest
results
to
have
the
best
possible
data
to
import
into
the
elections
database,
but
in
terms
of
evaluating
district
lines
during
the
redistricting
process,
there
is
no
legal
standard
in
nevada
that
requires
competitive
competitiveness.
Nor
is
there
any
definition
of
competitiveness.
K
Thank
you
and
chair,
thank
you
for
for
letting
me
ask
that
question
and
I
just
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
lcb.
I
know
that
we
literally
were
called
into
session
on
friday.
We
all
just
saw
the
maps
for
the
first
time
we're
asking
questions
of
you
and
rhetorical
questions
to
authors
of
maps
that
we
don't
know
who
they
are.
So
we
can't
get
those
questions
answered,
but
appreciate
that
you've
not
had
ample
time
to
cover
everything
that
we
ask
but
do
appreciate
the
tremendous
lift
that
you've
had
to
do.
So.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman,
and
with
that
we
will
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
and
yes,
you've
take
a
breath.
You've
all
done
a
tremendous
job.
We
will
go
ahead
and
move
into
testimony
for
senate
bill
one.
So
again,
I
want
to
remind
everyone
that
we
will
continue
to
move
between
those
who
wish
to
we'll
start
with
support
testimony.
Those
who
wish
to
testify
in
support
of
the
proposed
amendment
for
senate
bill
1
here
in
carson
city,
and
then
we
will
move
to
the
telephone
lines.
A
We
will
then
move
to
specifically
anyone
testifying
on
the
phones
in
spanish
who
would
need
translation
services.
So
it's
my
understanding
that
broadcasting,
as
you
prepare
for
us,
that
our
translators
are
available
on
the
lines
and
again,
please
just
notify
any
everyone
on
the
lines.
That's
wishing
to
testify
in
spanish
that
that
opportunity
is
available.
A
Okay,
I
don't
see
anyone
here
in
the
room
broadcasting.
Is
there
anyone
on
the
lines
that
would
like
to
testify
in
support
of
senate
of
the
amendment
to
senate
bill?
One
again
just
want
to
remind
everyone
to
state
your
first
and
last
name
clearly
for
the
record,
and
please
spell
it
for
us
and
that
everyone
will
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
for
three
minutes.
N
N
A
And
broadcasting
is
our
translator
able
to
say
that
in
spanish
as
well
to
ensure
that
everyone
on
the
line
hears
that.
A
I'll
also
repeat
the
phone
numbers
for
everyone
again.
If
you're
wishing
to
call
in
to
provide
testimony,
it's
one
six,
six,
nine,
nine,
zero,
zero,
six,
eight
three
three
and
the
meeting
id
is
eight
one.
Three,
eight
zero,
three,
four:
six:
zero,
seven
seven
followed
by
the
pound
sign
broadcasting.
Is
there
any
one.
O
A
A
So
with
that,
please
please
begin
when
you're
ready
here
in
carson
city.
F
Excuse
me
good
morning,
chairwoman,
miller
and
committee
members
for
the
record.
My
name
is
emily:
prasad
zamora,
p-e-r-s-a-u-d,
hyphen
z-a-m-o-r-a,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
silver
state
voices,
and
today
we
still
stand
in
opposition
of
sb1
on
saturday.
Community
members
and
coalition
partners
testified
in
opposition
to
sb1,
due
to
the
lack
of
accessibility
and
meaningful
public
input.
When
the
majority's
updated
proposed
congressional
map
was
published
last
night,
it
was
great
to
see
that
walker,
river,
paiute
tribe,
was
kept
in
one
congressional
district,
and
we
do
thank
this
body
for
making
that
additional
change.
F
However,
we
still
feel
including
the
map
that
was
released
before
right
before
this
session
started.
We
still
feel
that
the
maps
that
are
proposed
do
not
reflect
the
priorities
and
needs
of
your
constituents.
The
latinx
community
is
the
largest
community
in
cd1,
with
over
300
000
residents,
and
the
proposed
map
is
blatantly
disregarding
their
priorities
and
needs.
We
all
know
redistricting
happens
once
every
10
years,
and
so
there's
no
going
back.
This
is
a
time
that
we
need
to
fix
this
and
it's
still
not
addressing
and
you'll
hear
from
many
coalition
members.
F
P
Good
morning,
chair
miller
and
committee
members
for
the
record,
my
name
is
maria
nieto
orta
and
I'm
the
nevada
political
director
at
mifamilia
vota,
and
we
are
partners
of
the
nevadans
count
coalition.
We
are
still
in
strong
opposition
for
to
sp1.
Two
days
ago,
the
body
heard
directly
from
my
community,
your
latinx
constituents.
We
had
people
speaking
in
spanish,
their
own
language,
about
how
separating
the
community
is
not
what
they
want.
P
We
also
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
out
of
their
comfort
zone
for
folks
and-
and
you
know
just
having
to
speak
in
spanish
and
in
their
native
language-
we're
asking
people
to
speak
about
how
they
feel
and
for
their
the
way.
The
way
that
they
feel
to
not
be
taken
in
is
really
hurtful
as
elected
officials.
It
is
your
responsibility
to
champion
what
your
constituents
care
about
from
education,
to
health
care,
to
housing,
justice
and
do
them
right
by
those
things,
and
this
process
is
a
critical
component
of
this.
P
While
the
effort
to
incorporate
public
input
is
commendable,
this
body
has
not
done
right
by
my
community,
and
that
is
evident
by
the
revised
congressional
map
proposed
that
was
released
last
night.
The
body
has
ignored
the
feedback
on
the
majority's
proposed
congressional
district
maps,
specifically
in
congressional
district
1..
If
you
want
to
correct
this
failure,
you
will
vote
no
for
sb1
and
go
back
to
the
drawing
board,
and
I
encourage
you
to
look
at
the
revised
map
proposed
by
the
nevadans
count
coalition.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Additionally,
our
revised
plan
follows
the
principle
of
population
equality
with
the
congressional
districts
2
and
3
each
having
the
ideal
population
of
776
thousand
154
residents
and
congressional
districts
1
and
4
each
having
776
153
residents.
That
is
a
deviation
of
one
person
and
a
percentage
of
0.0
percent.
Q
We
have
been
following
the
redistricting
process
since
the
beginning
of
the
year
before
the
interim
redistricting
committee
was
created.
I
had
already
met
with
the
current
democrat
demographer,
the
previous
demographer
and
the
lcb
staff.
Further,
because
the
nevadan
redistricting
website
had
not
yet
been
created.
Our
coalition
was
using
free,
redistricting
websites
and
resources.
Q
We
created
a
congressional
redistricting
plan,
but
unfortunately
the
nevada
redistricting
website
was
not
able.
It
was
not
compatible
with
the
free
redistricting
website.
We
were
using
our
coalition
reached
out
to
the
lcb
staff
and
we
and
they
were
very
helpful
still
lcb
staff
was
unable
to
upload
our
plan,
not
until
saturday
november
13th.
Q
That
is,
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
that
before
our
map
was
successfully
uploaded,
we
had
been
trying
to
recreate
it
on
the
nevada
redistricting
website,
because
we
did
not
complete
it
before
saturday
at
around
7
a.m.
Our
map
was
removed
when
the
legislature
removed
the
old
database
and,
as
you
are
aware
on
saturday
morning,
the
additional
addresses
from
the
incarcerated
people
were
uploaded
to
the
website.
This
means
that
every
map
that
has
been
submitted
prior
to
saturday
november
13
would
not
have
a
deviation
of
one
person.
Q
Essentially,
all
those
maps
could
potentially
become
obsolete
to
incorporate
the
new
data
and
to
ensure
each
district
had
a
population
deviation
of
one.
We
revised
our
submitted
plan
and
uploaded
it.
Yesterday
evening
we
asked
this
body
to
consider
the
nevadans
count
coalition
map.
Again.
That
number
is
one
is
excuse
me
that
number
is
787
and
then
I
do
have
some
exhibits.
I
don't
know
who
I
would
be
handing
those
off
to.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
and
also
thank
you
for
reminding
all
of
us
that
to
please
spell
your
name
before
after
you
say
your
first
and
last
name.
Thank
you.
So
much.
F
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
holly
walborn.
I
am
the
policy
director
for
the
aclu
of
nevada.
I
also
grew
up
in
east
las
vegas
on
owens
and
lamb,
and
I
am
a
latina.
My
grandmother
was
a
migrant
farm
worker,
so
this
issue
is
very
near
and
dear
to
to
my
heart
as
well.
I
first
want
to
thank
the
legislature,
the
executive
branch,
the
state
demographer
lcb
and
others
who
adjusted
the
counts
to
reflect
the
inmate
reallocation.
F
F
With
the
amendment
we
see
that
that
there
is
some
movement,
but
of
course,
as
others
have
stated
is
it
is
not
enough.
The
latinx
community
living
in
east
las
vegas
is
numerous
and
compact
congressional
district.
One
is
currently
46
percent
latinx
latinx
community
in
east
east
and
northeast
las
vegas,
consistently
vote
as
a
block,
for
example,
in
the
2020
election,
75
percent
of
voters
cast
their
ballot
for
joe
biden
compared
to
23
for
donald
trump
and
precincts
in
the
heart
of
east
las
vegas.
F
In
contrast,
the
predominantly
white
affluent
communities,
the
the
majority
intends
to
add.
Cd1
voted
the
opposite.
For
example,
precincts
in
boulder
city
voted
66
percent
of
the
time
for
donald
trump
and
34
of
the
time
for
joe
biden.
This
highlights
how
polarized
the
districts
will
become
under
the
proposed
maps.
The
latinx
community
in
east
las
vegas
would
become
an
ineffective
minority
unable
to
overcome
the
affluent
high
voting
areas
of
boulder
city,
seven
hills,
mcdonald,
ranch
and
others.
F
The
community
is
not
asking
to
pack
all
latinos
in
one
congressional
district,
which
would
indeed
quote
be
bad
public
policy
and
flatly
illegal.
The
community
is
asking
the
four
congressional
districts
that
do
not
dilute
the
political
power
of
nevada's
fastest
growing
community
of
interest.
Thank
you.
A
P
Thank
you,
chair
miller,
good
morning
or
good
afternoon
committee.
My
name
is
taylor.
Patterson,
that's
t-a-y-l-o-r-p-a-t-t-e-r-s-o-n.
P
P
As
you
have
heard,
it
is
essential
for
our
communities
to
be
kept
together.
I
am
delighted
to
see
that
there
were
additional
changes
made
this
morning,
but
our
black
and
brown
brothers
and
sisters
deserve
the
same
opportunity
that
my
community
is
receiving.
If
one
of
our
communities
is
divided,
all
of
our
communities
are
divided.
P
R
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
chair
and
the
committee
members.
My
name
is
eric
chang
j-e-n-g,
I'm
the
director
of
outreach
for
asian
community
development
council
for
ac
dc,
serving
the
ever-growing
asian-american
native
hawaiian
pacific
islander
community
statewide.
R
Today
I
came
before
this
committee
deeply
conflicted.
I
wish
we
were
here
and
able
to
testify
and
support
since
this
map.
We
can
see
the
effort
being
made
for
sb1
recognizing
the
rapid
growth
and
emerging
coalition
of
asian
american
and
pacific
islander
community
with
the
potential
to
have
20
or
more
residents
in.
E
R
However,
we
recognize
the
highly
technical
and
difficult
assignment
in
redrawing
the
map
for
the
third
most
diverse
state,
the
four
with
the
fourth
highest
aapi
population
in
the
country
and
fifth
fastest
growing
state
in
the
nation.
This
doesn't
have
to
be
a
zero-sum
game.
That's
shaping
up
to
be
that
will
force
communities
of
interest
to
fight
over
each
other
for
more
representation
and
for
this
fair
and
equitable
map.
R
So
today
we
come
here
today
to
testify
in
opposition
as
part
of
a
larger
coalition
of
community
partners,
as
taylor
mentioned
right
before
me
that
if
we
break
one
communities,
we
break
all
communities,
we
believe
we
urge
the
communities
to
take
into
account
for
the
voices
that's
been
submitted
right
now
for
the
people
that
elected
you
and
counting
on
this
committee
to
draw
maps
that
recognize
the
diversity,
be
fair
and
be
equitable,
and
thank
you
for
listening
to
us.
A
D
D
That
was
very
important
to
us,
but
we
are
also
a
statewide
organization,
doing
work
in
southern
nevada
and,
as
part
of
a
member
of
the
nevada's
count
coalition,
we're
still
here
to
make
sure
that
there's
still
more
work
done
on
our
congressional
maps,
specifically
in
congressional
district
one.
D
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
take
a
look
at
the
communities
actually
make
sure
that
we
have
a
latino
majority
district
that
way
it's
their
voice
is
not
being
diluted
within
first
congressional
district
and
that
our
other
congressional
district,
that
has
minority
representation
cd4
that
our
communities
are
not
being
pitted
against
each
other.
Thank
you.
So
much.
B
B
Hyphen
p-a-r-r-a-g-a-
and
I
am
the
deputy
director
of
battleborn
progress.
We
see
the
new
revisions
and
appreciate
the
effort
with
this
new
revised
map
that
was
released
earlier
today.
However,
there's
still
more
work
to
do
in
order
to
truly
reflect
the
community's
desires.
As
you
have
heard
the
past
few
days,
higher
income
communities
are
still
being
mixed
in
with
working
class
communities,
pitting
them
against
each
other,
and
the
latino
community
is
still
being
split
now,
I'm
here,
because
I
grew
up
in
this
community
that
we're
talking
about
specifically
in
cd1
right
on
flamingo
and
bruce.
B
I
grew
up
there
with
a
mother
who
worked
two
housekeeping
jobs
to
put
food
on
the
table
and
she's
watching
right
now,
hi
mom,
I
went
to
schools
there.
This
is
the
community.
I
know
and
love
I'm
from
that
community,
and
I
want
to
make
this
very
clear
and
put
it
on
the
record
that
our
organization
and
our
coalition
does
not
work
for
a
party,
a
candidate
nor
any
elected
official.
B
Contrary
to
what
many
may
think
in
this
process,
we
can
come
up
with
our
own
comments
and
concerns
and
talking
points
and
testimony
it's
what
we
do
every
day
we
are
working
with
partners
in
the
community
on
this
issue
every
single
day,
as
you
have
heard,
it's
as
simple
as
that
and
the
community
is
asking
you
to
keep
them
together.
I
encourage
you
to
look
at
the
map.
A
Thank
you
and
with
that
we
will
move
on
to
testimony
about
15
minutes
on
the
phone
and
again
we
do
have
spanish
translation
available
on
the
phone.
So
please,
if
you
could,
let
everyone
know
in
spanish.
A
N
O
A
S
Ahead,
I
was
calling
in
I'm
sorry
about
this.
I
was
having
a
technical
difficulty
with
my
headphone
I'll
just
reset
good
afternoon,
chair
miller
and
members
of
the
assembly
select
committee
on
registering
my
name
is
nick
ariano.
That's
n-I-c-k-a-r-e-l-l-a-n-o.
S
This
is
my
first
redistricting
process.
Ten
years
ago
I
was
a
freshman
in
high
school
in
congressional
district
one.
I
grew
up
in
a
mexican-american
household,
where
traditional
values
were
engraved
in
culture,
not
politics,
redistricting
processes,
elections
and
so
much
more
weren't
part
of
the
conventional
life
lessons
we
learned,
so
I
had
to
take
matters
into
my
own
hands
and
become
that
educational
resource
to
my
family.
S
After
I
finished
school,
I
became
more
involved
in
learning
how
much
my
vote
meant
for
people
like
me,
as
I
have
navigated
from
midterms
to
presidential
elections.
I've
come
to
realize
that
education
and
these
processes
were
so
dire.
So
many
people
had
no
idea
what
the
senate
even
represented.
S
As
I
took
the
time
to
look
at
the
maps,
it's
just
easy
to
say
that
they
dilute
the
power
of
the
latin
next
communities.
I
have
to
note
that
taking
concerns
from
various
communities
is
helpful
in
this
challenging
process.
I
mean,
however,
it
still
fails
to
reflect.
What
is
now
the
third
most
diverse
state
in
the
country?
S
There
just
isn't
any
sense
in
pitting
us
against
henderson
and
any
rural
communities
outside
of
boulder
city.
Frankly,
our
priorities
and
needs
are
being
undermined,
and
our
representatives
must
take
another
look
at
congressional
district
one
and
look
further
into
the
dilution
of
power
it
can
unravel
in
the
next
10
years,
and
that's
my
testimony.
Thank
you.
G
I
am
a
long-time
community
leader
of
southern
nevada,
latino
community,
as
well
as
I
am
by
professional
law
professor.
So
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
first
and
foremost,
that
the
numbers
that
you
are
using
to
estimate
the
demographics
percentage,
white
percentage,
latino
etc
may
be
off.
In
fact,
I
do
think
they're
off
the
census.
Numbers
show
that
the
white
population
is
45.9
percent,
and
yet,
when
you
do
the
numbers
on
my
district
website,
you
come
up
with
a
50.1.
G
G
The
second
issue
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
is
that
one
of
the
members
of
the
commission
committee
has
been
talking
about
non-majority
as
being
kind
of
the
relevant
measure
that
we
should
be
looking
at.
I
want
to
again
underscore
that
the
voting
rights
act
does
not
think
about
non-whites
or
non-majority.
G
It
thinks
about
minority
groups
whose
voice
has
been
diluted
or
who
are
no
longer
able
to
elect
a
representative
of
their
choice.
So,
for
example,
texas
has
a
mall
death,
redistricting
legal
challenge,
and
it
is
not
because
non-majority
voters
don't
have
sufficient
vote
voice.
It
is
because
latino
voters
don't
have
sufficient
votes.
So
in
your
analysis,
please
don't
use
non-majority
numbers
but
again
break
it
down
by
the
particular
groups.
G
G
The
latino
community
is
identifiable,
it
leaves
in
a
segregated
area.
We
know
exactly
where
they
are
north
and
east
las
vegas
whitney
twin
lakes,
eastland
heights,
and
it
is
this
community
that
has
been
fractured
in
three
in
the
congressional
district
maps.
Their
interests
are
distinct,
they
vote
as
a
group.
They
have
policy
interests
that
they
want
to
see
pursued,
and
so
this
races
immediately
and
should
raise
for
the
committee
issues
around
voting
rights
act
representation.
G
A
N
N
N
As
a
lot
of
my
counterparts
have
told
you,
I
am
myself
and
I'm
also
a
latina
that
grew
up
and
it's
still
currently
live
in
the
east
side
of
las
vegas,
and
I
was
highly
disappointed
in
yesterday's
revised
maps,
not
including
the
feedback
from
our
latinx
community.
I
am,
however,
delighted
to
see
that
this
body
is
open
to
making
more
changes
that
ensures
that
the
maps
are
representative
of
the
residents.
N
Our
community
here
in
clark
county
embodies
the
definition
of
communities
of
interest.
We
share
bilingual
and
bicultural
characteristics.
Our
children
attend
the
same
schools,
we
are
employed
in
the
same
work
sectors
and
we
celebrate
one
another's
cultures.
Our
community
should
not
be
separated.
We
see
the
legislature
as
trying,
and
we
thank
you,
but
we
are
nowhere.
We
are
not
where
we
need
to
be.
Affluent
communities
are
still
being
put
against
working-class
communities
and
latino
communities
are
still
being
split.
N
With
the
last
three
digits
zero,
six
six-
you
are
unmuted
and
maybe
again
good
afternoon,
for
the
record
is
my
name-
is
guillermo
barajona
spell
g-u-I
l-l-e-r-m-o
b-a-r-a-h-o-n-a,
and
I
am
the
civic
engagement
director
for
chispa
nevada
and
we
are
partners
to
the
nevadans
county
coalition
and
we
are
in
strong
opposition
to
sb1
from
the
school
board
to
the
interim
redistricting
committee
county
commissioners
and
city
council
meetings.
Community
members
have
been
urging
our
elected
officials
to
put
communities
of
interest
first.
That
means
having
meaningful
public
input.
To
put
it
into
perspective.
N
While
we
are
ecstatic
to
see
that
this
part
incorporated
the
feedback
of
the
indigenous
community
to
keep
the
walker
river
paya
tribe
in
one
congressional
district
and
that
you
all
are
making
the
necessary
stripes
to
make
the
necessary
changes
needed,
these
maps
are
still
not
where
they
should
be
at
the
latino
community
is
still
being
split
and
affluent
communities
are
still
being
put
against.
The
working-class
communities
redistricting
happens
once
every
10
years.
The
decisions
this
body
will
make
will
drastically
affect
our
communities
and
it's
important
to
incorporate
their
feedback.
N
Last
night
evans
can
publish
a
revised
vision
of
the
congressional
map
that
reflects
the
feedback
received
from
your
constituents.
I
urge
the
committee
to
consider
this
map
and
make
the
necessary
changes
to
incorporate
their
feedback.
I
urge
this
body
to
consider
the
over
300
300
000
latinx
residents
in
cd1
and
ensure
that
the
proposed
congressional
map
incorporates
our
feedback.
Thank
you.
N
O
N
Yes
good
afternoon,
thank
you,
members
of
the
assembly,
I'm
jim
hindel,
vice
chair
of
the
nevada
republican
party.
On
behalf
of
the
republicans
in
the
great
state
of
nevada,
I
would
like
to
communicate
our
strong
opposition
to
senate
bill.
1.
nevada
is
a
diverse
state
on
every
measure
and
a
swing
state,
given
our
demographic
mix
and
political
character.
N
Based
on
that,
we
want
to
emphasize
the
questions
and
issues
regarding
these
amended
maps,
specifically
highlighted
by
assemblyman
matthews
and
assemblywoman
tolls.
The
proposed,
amended
maps
do
not
achieve
the
majority
stated
goal
of
significantly
increasing
representation
for
minority
communities.
N
Instead,
it
divides
communities
and
splits
counties,
as
stated
by
assemblyman
matthews,
the
minority
caucuses
have
proposed
maps
that
achieve
smaller
deviations
between
target
and
actual
populations
across
the
proposed
districts.
We
are
very
disappointed
that
the
minority
caucus's
proposals
have
not
been
seriously
considered
and
incorporated
into
these
amended
maps.
N
N
Caller,
with
the
last
three
digits,
zero
six
nine,
you
may
begin
good
day,
chair
miller
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
andre
wade,
a-n-d-r-e
w-a-d-e
and
I
work
as
state
director
of
service
data
quality,
a
statewide
lgbtq
plus
civil
rights
organization,
here
in
nevada,
doing
non-partisan
intersectional
work.
We
are
a
member
of
the
nevadans
count
coalition
and
I
am
testifying
in
opposition.
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
work
that
you
have
done
this
far
on
redistricting
and
being
responsible
on
some
of
the
issues
and
concerns
that
have
been
raised
today.
N
We
are
here
to
urge
you
to
take
into
account
the
concerns
we
have
regarding
the
latina
or
latinx
nevadans
and
cd1,
which
have
not
been
incorporated.
It's
imperative
that
the
concerns
be
reflective
in
the
maps
that
are
drawn
as
the
decisions
made
today
will
be
in
place
for
the
next
10
years
and
could
have
dire
consequences
for
nevadans
in
the
future
that
ensures
their
voices
being
heard
and
needs
being
met.
The
advanced
account
coalition
has
uploaded
a
mill.
N
Thank
you
so
much
good
morning
committee,
my
name
is
quentin
savoie,
that's
q!
U
e
n
t
I
n
s
like
sam,
a
like
apple
v,
lecture
w
w-o-I-r
I
represent,
make
it
work,
nevada
and
black
women
and
black
families
that
we
organize
alongside
throughout
the
state.
Vacate
nevada,
is
also
part
of
the
nevadans
count
coalition
and
we
oppose
the
proposed
boundaries
submitted
in
sb1.
N
We
do
appreciate
the
governor's
work
and
this
committee's
work,
as
well
as
all
of
our
legislators,
and
making
sure
that
the
inmate
allocation
was
corrected
and
making
sure
that
our
incarcerated
brothers
and
sisters
are
are
fairly
counted
and
that
they
are
fairly
represented
in
how
these
maps
are
drawn.
However,
when
it
comes
to
nevada
being
a
trailblazer
in
the
country,
we've
done
a
great
job
at
protecting
and
expanding
democracy.
N
But
the
composition
of
these
lines
is
the
most
important
part
of
our
democracy
it
determines
who
represents
our
communities
at
all
levels
of
government
and
the
accuracy
and
inclusiveness
of
these
lines
can
mean
the
difference
in
how
resources
are
allocated
in
communities
that
we
work
in
that
are
often
overlooked
and
left
in
the
margins.
The
maps
in
their
current
form
dilute
so
much
political
power
from
communities
of
color,
especially
our
latinx
brothers
and
sisters,
and
they
pit
black
and
brown
communities
against
one
another.
N
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
with
that,
we
will
return
to
those
providing
opposition
testimony
here
in
the
room.
Please
remember:
to
spell
your
name
for
the
record.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
this
committee.
I
am
assembly
republican
caucus
leader,
dr
robin
titus,
r-o-b-I-n
t-I-t-u-s,
and
I
appreciate
an
opportunity
to
testify
in
opposition
and
in
front
of
you
today,
I
I
have
to
acknowledge
the
hard
work
that
has
been
done
by
lcb
staff,
the
gis
folks.
This
is
not
easy
task
for
anybody.
C
C
We
have
significant
statistical
data
on
our
maps
that
showed-
and
I
want
to
put
this
in
the
record
regarding
population-
deviation-
that
the
majority
plan's
largest
population
deviation
is
1.64
percent.
The
largest
negative
deviation
with
these
new
maps
at
three
point:
zero
five
percent
overall
range
of
deviation
is
four
point:
six,
nine
percent,
the
minority
party's
plans
largest
positive
deviation,
was
0.36
percent
or
just
negative
deviation.
C
T
Thank
you
for
the
record.
I'm
state
assemblyman
john
ellison
district
33
and
last
name
spelled
e-l-l-I-s-o-n
and
I'm
here
in
opposition
of
this
bill
and
and
I'm
going
to
explain
to
you
why
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
special
session
and
the
last
session
and
talk
about
the
unfairness,
but
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
map
right
now.
T
T
T
Exactly
am
I
happy
with
my
assemblywoman?
Yes,
but
she's
not
going
to
be
there
forever,
then
I'm
going
to
show
you
the
map
that
the
republicans
put
out
there
to
put
elko
county
carlin
and
what
it
is
right
now
this
is
being
taken
away,
and
I
feel
this
is
a
hit
from
parties
it's
going
to
destroy
rural
nevada.
T
T
A
A
Okay,
not
seeing
any
broadcasting
is
there
anyone
on
the
lines
on
the
telephone.
M
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
vanessa
collins,
that's
v-a-n-e-s-s-a
c-o-l-l-inf
and
I
am
the
nevada
state
program
manager
for
care
in
action.
We
work
with
women
of
color
across
the
state
to
increase
their
power.
We've
taken
a
look
at
this
map.
We
stand
in
solitude
with
the
nevada
council
coalition.
We
want
you
to
strongly
oppose
this
map.
When
we
talk
about
redistricting,
it
shouldn't
be
about
partisan
politics.
M
It
should
really
be
about
the
communities
we're
reflecting.
Not
only
does
this
map
dilute
cd1's
latin
population
vote,
but
it
is
also
going
to
cause
problems
in
cd4,
where
you're
pinning
the
african-american
community
and
the
latinx
community
against
each
other.
So
we'd
like
you
to
strongly
consider
the
map
that
the
nevada
coalition
has
put
forward,
and
I
appreciate
your
time.
N
G
G
The
current
proposal
will
not
only
dilute
and
diminish
and
severely
harm,
latino
community
interests,
but
but
I
think
it
will.
It
will
only
fuel
more
divisiveness
in
our
in
our
conversation
about
issues
and
concerns
of
importance
to
all
nevadans,
I
hope
you'll
reconsider
you'll
retain
the
latina
majority
and
cd1
from
the
research
I've
done
as
a
private
citizen.
It
appears
that
professor
lazis
lazis's
map
is
probably
the
the
best
option.
S
T
S
N
A
C
Thank
you
so
much.
Madam
chair
and
committee
members.
My
name
is
jill
dickman.
It's
j-I-l-l-d-I-c-k.
C
C
What
I
always
heard
was
if,
if
nobody's
happy,
it's
probably
a
good
bill
because
it's
been
a
a
work
of
compromise,
but
when
you
look
at
the
diverse
groups
who
are
not
happy
with
this
bill,
it's
clear
that
it's
not
because
of
compromise
or
discussion.
It
seems
to
me
that
no
one
has
been
listened
to,
but.
C
It's
just
very
disappointing
and
I
think
these
people
need
to
be
heard,
think
and
listen
to.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
N
O
N
We
educated
them
on
the
importance
of
having
a
voice
in
civics
that
we
are
a
nation,
a
state,
a
county,
a
city
and
a
community
that
flourishes
when
we
all
participate
and
engage.
This
redistricting
is
an
opportunity
for
them
to
see
that,
as
our
state
boasts
our
diversity,
we
must
also
ensure
that
our
elected
leadership
reflects
that.
Please
utilize
the
input
from
nevading's
count
coi
map.
A
Okay,
thank
you
with
that.
I
will
close
the
opposition
testimony
and
open
it
up
for
anyone
wishing
to
testify
in
neutral
on
the
proposed
assembly
bill
for
senate
bill
1..
P
When
we
talk
about
communities
of
interest,
when
we
talk
about
homeowners
associations,
one
of
the
things
that
gets
missed
is
the
fact
that
many
of
these
communities
are
based
on
age,
they're
based
on
disabilities
and
they're,
based
on
what
the
resources
like
what
resources
need
to
be
accessed.
P
So
if
you
have
a
community,
that's
split
so
we'll
use
somerset
as
an
example,
because
there's
an
elder
community
there
that
utilizes
many
of
the
services,
specifically
in
reno,
sparks
and
they're
put
in
a
different
district.
It
makes
access
to
those
services
harder
and
it
makes
it
harder
for
the
city
and
for
the
county
to
really
make
sure
that
we
have
the
resources
and
services
to
provide
to
those
individuals.
P
I
appreciate
all
the
effort
and
the
discussion
that's
gone
into
these.
You
know
very
hard
conversations
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
on
every
board
that
I
am
on,
and
every
organization
that
I
represent
and
have
represented.
P
We
are
very
happy
with
the
way
that
our
state's
moving,
but
we
do
also
just
want
to-
and
just
myself,
especially
as
a
citizen
of
nevada,
just
wants
to
remind
everyone
to
really
look
at
where
we
want
to
be
in
10
years
and
in
20
years,
because
it's
our
state,
we
have
to
make
it
so
it's
accessible
to
our
children
and
that
it's
accessible
to
every
nevadan.
That's
here,
of
course,
I
also
have
to
you,
know
echo
everything
too,
that
diversity,
equity,
inclusion
and
access
is
always
something
that
we
should
be
out
to
attain.
P
A
Thank
you.
Anyone
else
in
the
room
was
wishing
to
make
testimony
in
neutral,
okay
broadcasting
is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
testify
neutral.
N
M
I
am

M
As
you
are
aware,
children
are
included
in
the
total
population
of
each
proposed
legislative
district,
and
although
they
cannot
vote,
they
will
be
impacted
by
these
district
maps.
For
the
next
10
years,
we
have
included
an
updated
document
highlighting
the
percentage
of
children
in
each
proposed
legislative
district
in
senate
bill

We
ask
you
to
consider
how
to
prioritize
the
needs
of
children
in
each
district
in
and
nevada.
M

Okay,
thank
you
with
that.
I
will
go
ahead
and
close.

there's
no
one

approaching
for
public

there
anyone
on
