HISTORICAL NOTE
On December 5, 2000, Governor Jesse Ventura signed Executive Order No. 00-10 which
mandated the formation of a citizen advisory commission to review proposed
redistricting plans developed by the Legislature (for both congressional and
legislative districts) and to provide advice to the Governor's Office about those
plans. Known as the Governor's Citizen Advisory Commission on Redistricting, the
goals of the commission were to: 1) permit public participation in the redistricting
process; 2) ensure that any redistricting plans enacted were fair to all parties and
to incumbents and non-incumbents alike; 3) ensure that the plans were politically
balanced; and 4) ensure that the plans were politically competitive.
The commission consisted of 11 members, with one representative each from the state's
four political parties (Republican, DFL, Independence, and Green), one each
representing the League of Women Voters and Common Cause, four members appointed
at-large, and Dean Barkley, director of Minnesota Planning, who also served as
commission chair. Joe Mansky of Minnesota Planning worked as the group's
manager.
The commission first discussed criteria necessary for a fair and equitable
redistricting plan and on April 4, 2001 adopted a set of guidelines to use when
evaluating plans drafted by the Legislature. A Website was also created to expose
the proposed plans to the public and encourage public participation and
feedback.
At the adjournment of the Legislature in May 2001, both the House and Senate had
passed their own respective plans. With no joint plan ready to be enacted into law,
the Governor directed Mansky to also draft a plan, using the commission's criteria,
that could be considered alongside the legislative plans. The Governor's
congressional plan was made public at the commission's August 22, 2001 meeting and
his legislative plan on October 31. In response to public testimony and discussion
among its members, the commission voted to approve the Governor's congressional plan
on October 31 and his legislative plan on December 19.
Concurrent with the activities of the Legislature and Governor, Minnesota Supreme
Court Chief Justice Kathleen Blatz, acting on a citizens' petition, on July 12, 2001
appointed a Special Redistricting Panel to oversee all litigation pertaining to
Minnesota's 2001-2002 redistricting and to adopt congressional and legislative
redistricting plans to be used in the event the legislature failed to reach
agreement by the federal deadline. In August 2001, the panel conducted public
hearings around the state and received written input. Eventually four potential
plans, the Zachman plan (the House Republican plan), the Cotlow plan (the state DFL
party plan), the Governor's plan, and the Moe plan (the Senate DFL plan), were
considered by the panel in preparation of their plan.
Under federal statute a certified redistricting plan had to be enacted by March 19,
2002. On that day, following the Legislature's failure to agree on a plan, the
Special Redistricting Panel's plan was enacted.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
Detailing the work of the commission, particularly its study of the Governor's
congressional and legislative redistricting plan, the records include
correspondence, meeting agendas and summaries, press releases, legal documents,
maps, statistical reports, and electronic data.
Of special interest are materials detailing the work of the Supreme Court's Special
Redistricting Panel, including their final orders adopting the congressional and
legislative redistricting plans, and digital versions of the Governor's
2000 Proposed Congressional and Legislative Redistricting Plans.
The Redistricting Plans contain an archive of the population and voting data used to
create the redistricting plans. This data can be mapped and analyzed using GIS
(geographic information systems) software. The data is available in Maptitude and
Arcview Shapefile formats.
Voting and population data is arranged by census block, minor civil division,
precinct, and county. Voting data includes 2000, 1996, 1992 presidential elections;
2000, 1996, 1994 U.S. senatorial elections; 2000, 1998, 1996, 1994 U.S.
congressional elections; 1998, 1994 gubernatorial elections, state senate and house
elections, state treasurer, auditor, secretary of state, and recorder elections; and
summary and cumulative data for elections. Population data includes total
population, population over 18, minority populations, and population by
ethnicity.
Reference data layers are also included. These layers include lakes, railroads,
streets and highways, neighborhoods in Minneapolis and St. Paul, incumbent
locations, cities that span multiple counties, school districts, and Indian
reservations. This reference data was used in combination with the voting and
population data when creating and evaluating the redistricting plans.
