The Antioch City Council reaffirmed its vote on a redistricting map, chosing a modified version of one drawn by a demographer at a special meeting Friday evening.
Lori Rafferty questioned the council’s integrity and accused the council members of gerrymandering to protect certain elected officials. “Map 521 is a better match, as it not only complies with the guidelines set forth by the Fair Maps Act, which both map A’s do not, but Map 521 district boundaries are easily defined. They do not break up neighborhoods, nor do they communities of interest…”“ does exactly what you want it to do: It cuts around the areas that you wanted to keep one person into the other person’s district,” she said about the map that would move Councilwoman Lori Ogorchock from District 3 to District 4.
“It looks like a lake to me,” she said of modified Map A. “I don’t know where the communities of interest are in that map…When you just say move this line and move that line, you don’t know about neighborhoods. You don’t know who’s in there. You don’t know about the HOA general about the schools, you don’t know about the social, economic individuals that live there.”
