    Here is my final map of the New York Assembly in CSV format. It also can be found online here: https://davesredistricting.org/join/1e19e3f7-8c7b-4b08-9577-46eb08a64954 Please remember that it is impossible to draw a majority minority district in the Capital Region. However, these maps do create 2 districts (112 and 108) in the Capital Region that nonwhite voters would make up a majority of Democratic Primary Voters. Democrats are heavily favored to win both districts so nonwhite candidates should have a good shot at winning an open primary for those seats.

    Assembly https://davesredistricting.org/join/bd4b76c2-a3b1-4ad2-95cb-69b21f710934 Paul Nieves from Yonkers: My goal in drawing districts for the Assembly was to ensure communities of interest, including minority groups, were respected to the extent practicable, while also keeping county and municipal splits to a minimum. These districts are compact and there are new competitive districts throughout the state. NYC districts follow neighborhood boundaries to the extent practicable. New minority opportunity districts were created, as well. For example, districts 89 & 90 no longer divide Yonkers. By not packing Mount Vernon with Downtown Yonkers, a new mostly Hispanic district can exist in the city, while the 89th to remains a plurality Black district. Throughout the rest of the state, the districts follow regional boundaries as defined by Empire State Development, Metropolitan Statistical areas, and the state's geography. No district's population deviates by more than 5%.

    Senate https://davesredistricting.org/join/9aae2182-21bf-4fb3-8a58-59fba79880e6 Paul Nieves from Yonkers: The Senate map was drawn with the same criteria: Compact districts that respect communities of interest, including minority groups, state regions, as well as, county and municipal boundaries. There are new competitive districts and minority opportunity districts throughout the state. No district's population deviates by more than 5%. For example, a new mostly Asian district is created in Brooklyn - the 22nd. In Queens, there are 2 plurality Asian districts (11 and 17) and 1 mostly Asian district (16), while the 13th district remains mostly Hispanic. Again, NYC districts follow neighborhood boundaries to the extent practicable.

    Congressional https://davesredistricting.org/join/1ab3754a-f53d-47e7-a04a-37ac553af3a2 Greetings. My name is Paul Nieves from Yonkers NY. I currently assist the Princeton Gerrymandering Project Mapping Corps in creating fair district plans that meet legal requirements. My district plans have been presented to redistricting commissions in Ohio (Congressional and Legislative), via OH Common Cause, and Alabama (State Senate) via PGP, and my most recent prize winning work can be found on Medium.com (NC Congressional). I've created a district map proposal that could be adopted as is in Dave's Redistricting App. Only four districts deviate from the ideal population, and each by only 1 person. The state's population has been adjusted to account for prison inmates at their most recent, non-prison residential address. A lot of time and contemplation went into crafting this proposal. I hope my contribution is helpful in creating the final proposal. In NYC, I followed the official City government’s official Community Districts and the unofficial neighborhoods map from the U.S. Statistical Atlas. I prioritized ensuring minority districts comply with the Voting Rights Act and state law, which means that some districts can’t "look nice." The 5th, 8th, and 9th, retain similar Black percentages compared to their current incarnations, and the 7th, 13th, 14th, and 15th, maintain heavy Hispanic voting blocs. This prevents packing more Black and/or Hispanic voters into fewer districts, which would violate the VRA’s Retrogression Clause, while still respecting established communities. The Upstate districts follow Metropolitan Statistical Areas and official Economic Development Regions and are more competitive than the downstate districts.
