Throughout the process, the committee adhered to the New Hampshire Constitution, respected incumbent boundaries to the greatest extent possible and strove to achieve the best possible deviations. Both sides worked together, with few notable exceptions, to come up with a plan that would please as many people as possible. This bill holds fast to the goals we set for deviation and range and limits the number of multi member districts to the minimum possible. Some maintain that cities get a raw deal in the design of this plan, but that just simply is not true. Many New Hampshire cities lost representation simply because their population numbers have dropped dramatically in the last ten years. Conversely, some suburbs and outlying towns gained as their populations increased. Floterials were used when necessary, and while there are more of them, the average number of residents within a floterial decreased from the 1992 levels. Additionally, these floterials reduced the overall deviation to under what it would have been had we not used a floterial. The average deviation, per district is well under the goal of 10%. A number of changes were proposed to the original plan, both by Republicans and Democrats and the Committee adopted many of these changes. In short, the committee worked hard, once again, to placate people's concerns. This plan complies with the constitution, state laws and the criteria set by the redistricting committee. It is fair and we are confident it will stand tall under anybody's honest scrutiny."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Jane A. Clemons", "committee": "Election Law", "text": "New Hampshire is proud of its citizen Legislature. But the difference between the ideal of 400 members each representing just over 3,000 people and the reality embodied by this redistricting plan could not be greater. Far from conforming to the constitutional absolute of one person, one vote, the districts in this plan range in population from a high of 86,605 to a low of 2,946. If this plan is adopted, more than 75 percent of the members of this House will be elected from multi-member or floterial districts; only 15 members will be elected from districts that fall within the constitutionally acceptable range of 3089. Worse still, more than one half of the 214 Districts created by this bill have a deviation greater than 100 percent of the constitutionally accepted number of 3089, and fully one in three of these new Districts have a deviation greater than 200 percent. This plan also continues the trend toward increasing reliance on floterial districts: over the last two decades, the number of floterial districts has grown from 17 in 1982, to 32 in 1992, to 43 in the majority amendment to this bill. However, reasonable, constitutional alternatives were possible. For the first time in history, this Legislature had the technical capacity and expertise to draw 400 single-member districts; the majority chose not to do so. As a result, we are being asked to adopt a redistricting plan that sacrifices the most basic fundamental right of a citizen in a free democracy -- the right to vote, and to have that vote count as equally as the votes of every other citizen of this state."}], "source": "House Calendar 13, 2002", "date": "2002-02-08", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 13", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2002%5CNo%2013%20February%208%202002.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2002-03-19", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Internal Affairs", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "3022", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 17A", "cite_url": ""}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": {"bill": "HB420", "text": ["To the Honorable Members of the General Court:", "By the authority vested in me as Governor of New Hampshire, pursuant to Part II, Article 44 of the Constitution of New Hampshire, I have this day vetoed House Bill 420, an act apportioning state representative districts.", "I am vetoing this bill because it grossly deviates from the constitutional requirement that districts be as equal in population as possible; it is internally inconsistent in its treatment of different areas in the state; and it unnecessarily changes the form and boundaries of existing districts.", "House Bill 420 violates Part II, Article 9 of the New Hampshire Constitution, which requires districts in the House of Representatives to \"be as equal as circumstances shall admit.\" For citizens in a representative democracy like ours, the right to vote is a precious right, but that right is empty unless we ensure that each vote is counted and counted equally. Unfortunately, H.B. 420 sets up districts that are far from any measure of equality and thus are unconstitutional.", "The population of the State is 1,235,786 according to the census conducted in 2000. A straight division of the State into 400 single-member districts would have each district contain 3,089 people. H.B. 420 would create a redistricting scheme of House districts that vary in population to such a degree that they would represent serious threats to the voting rights of thousands of New Hampshire citizens. Far from creating districts in which each member of the House would represent 3,089 people, H.B. 420 would create districts with large differences in the number of people represented by each House member. The smallest of H.B. 420's districts falls 14.4% below the ideal and the largest exceeds the ideal by 8%.", "The difference between the high and low is called the \"range of deviation\" and the 22.4% range of deviation created by H.B. 420 is unacceptably high. It is substantially higher than the 14.5% total range of deviation in the current House redistricting statute at the time it was adopted ten years ago. It is also significantly higher than the ranges of deviation for alternative plans that were presented to the House Redistricting Committee and the House Election Law Committee, as well as an amendment offered on the floor of the Senate. Unfortunately, the majority party rejected all of the lower-deviation alternatives.", "The United States Supreme Court has, on more than one occasion, held that redistricting plans with deviations of greater than ten percent represent prima facie cases of unconstitutional voting rights violations, unless the deviations are required by the need to advance rational state policies. There is no legitimate state policy that requires deviations of such magnitude. Indeed, as stated above, there are a number of alternative plans that would create districts with much smaller ranges of deviation.", "Floterial districts lie at the heart of many of the problems with H.B. 420. A floterial district is one that crosses municipal or ward lines and allows one community to share representation with one or more contiguous places. In some counties, H.B. 420 creates unnecessary floterial districts. In others, House Bill 420 fails to create floterial districts where they clearly are warranted. There are 32 floterial districts in current law and H.B. 420 would increase that number to 43. In one extreme example, H.B. 420 lays a floterial district on top of the entire City of Nashua, creating a district in which one House member will have more than 86,000 constituents. Thus, that single House district is one-and-one-half times greater in size than the population of a state senate district.", "H.B. 420 unnecessarily treats similar situations in different parts of the State quite differently. For example, under H.B. 420", "the citizens of the cities of Claremont and Laconia will be under-represented because those two cities are treated differently than similarly situated towns. Claremont, with a population of 13,151, is given four representatives in H.B. 420, despite the fact Claremont's population is 795 above the ideal population for four representatives. Laconia, with a population of 16,411, is given five representatives, despite the fact its population is 966 above the ideal population for five representatives. H.B. 420 creates no floterial districts to deal with those two clear situations of under-representation, despite the fact that the majority created floterial districts for similarly situated citizens in Hollis and Raymond. Nor can the majority party's rationale for denying full representation to the citizens of Claremont and Laconia withstand any objective scrutiny. The majority contended that Claremont and Laconia would dominate surrounding smaller towns in a floterial district. However, H.B. 420 places the following large towns in floterial districts with much smaller neighbors: Milford (population 13,535 in a floterial with a total of 18,575); Goffstown (16,929 out of 24,705); Amherst (10,769 out of 12,803); and Londonderry (23,236 out of 33,945).", "H.B. 420 unnecessarily changes the form and boundaries of existing districts. This is especially a problem in Cheshire County. Despite the fact that population shifts over the last 10 years only cause Cheshire County to lose one seat in the House of Representatives, H.B. 420 changes the representation of every single community in Cheshire County, with new combinations in every multi-town and floterial district.", "Moreover, H.B. 420 targets certain incumbents, despite the fact one of the criteria for redistricting set forth in the House Redistricting Committee was to avoid altering incumbent districts if possible. For example, H.B. 420 targets a member of House Democratic Leadership and one of the only four Democrats in the Hillsborough County delegation outside of the cities of Manchester and Nashua by placing her home town of Mont Vernon in two overlapping floterial districts - one with the town of Amherst, which is five times the size of Mont Vernon; the other with the towns of New Boston and Lyndeborough.", "The creation of this particular overlapping floterial district was done despite the fact there were better alternatives and despite the fact the Republican leadership of the House Redistricting Committee on more than one occasion questioned the constitutionality of overlapping floterial districts. Indeed, the House Redistricting Committee rejected a proposal for overlapping floterial districts in the City of Laconia and a proposal for overlapping floterial districts in the City of Claremont, both offered by members of the minority party. Such inconsistency in redistricting is unacceptable. It highlights the willingness of the majority to bend a supposed rule when it suits the purpose of limiting minority party representation.", "In Coos County, despite the fact that that there is a sufficient number of people to support a single-member district in greater Northumberland (\"Groveton\") and a single-member district in Lancaster, H.B. 420 would combine Groveton with Lancaster in a two-seat district. This combination is designed to force a Democratic incumbent to run against two Republican incumbents.", "Because H.B. 420 is unconstitutional, fundamentally unfair, and internally inconsistent, I am compelled to veto this legislation.", "I urge the House to take up my veto quickly. Alternatives that would satisfy the requirement for equal representation and fairness have been presented, and can be considered once again.
