Congressional District Map Series Files – MICHIGAN (1970s-2010s)

This is it! The moment (some) of you (probably) have been waiting for! This is a file which contains all U.S. House maps for Michigan for each Decade of the last 5 decades (1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s).

Using the maps from Wikipedia, I hand-drew each map-in some cases the state is stretched, and in others it stays as true to it’s original shape as I can get it, but all maps are dutifully re-drawn to allow you to pop them in and use them in your very own Single State series! To anyone who asks me, no I do not intend to have the California map out soon. This is the biggest thing I’ve done since trying to do the scenario for Florida-which got deleted (sad).

Next state to get this treatment may either be West Virginia or Wisconsin, maybe even Arizona! Who knows? See you in the comments!

Template – Michigan

Hello everyone! It is I, your dear ruler, back from isolation where I have been slaving away for things to be made available to you, my loyal plebs!

In my time away I have literally attempted to create a Michigan 2020 Senate scenario for you (and myself) to enjoy. In doing this, I discovered there is one immense problem. Michigan is a state of 83 counties, with 70+ of those being normally very conservative. Going through and 1) naming, 2) targeting, 3) inserting a) voters, b) population, and c) voter registered, 4) region IDs, and 5) county flags alone takes almost an entire day. One problem most scenario creators find is that it’s nigh impossible to stay dedicated to such work over an extended period of time (I can’t imagine the slog that must be doing a state like Texas, with over 200 counties.

I do not know yet if anyone has made a Michigan scenario, I do not believe so. So in this case I decided to make a template.

This has everything already set out for you-voters, reg. voters, population, region names, ids, and flags, region placements, default R-D candidate placeholders, all the basic work is done already. You need to add in everything else-issues you want, candidate’s names and other things, blurbs, issue strength, events, debates, polls, primary info, that sort of stuff. But, all the hard work, the really hard work-is done for you. So please, enjoy!

Note: I am currently creating a Michigan Senatorial 2020 scenario, and so would appreciate it if no one else took up the challenge of making it!
