unusual facts about Redistribution


Redistribution

Redistricting, the redistribution of political borders in the United States


Bernhard II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen

In 12 November 1826, after the redistribution of all the family territories after the death of the last Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, Bernhard II received Hildburghausen and Saalfeld.

Bill Attewell

As a result of redistribution, he decided to move to the riding of Markham, just outside of Toronto, for the 1988 federal election leaving his former riding to former East York mayor Alan Redway who retained the riding for the Tories.

Division of Mayo

Established in South Australian redistribution of 3 September 1984, the division is named for Helen Mayo, a social activist and the first woman elected to an Australian University Council.

Electoral district of Albert

It was split up in the 1949 redistribution ahead of the 1950 state election into Darlington, which included Redland, Logan, Beaudesert, Coomera, Jimboomba and Tamborine; and Southport which was limited to the Gold Coast and its hinterland.

Electoral district of Maylands

After the 1961 redistribution, Toms elected to contest the new seat of Bayswater at the 1962 election, whilst Oldfield, who had since joined the Labor party, won Maylands, but narrowly lost it three years later.

Another redistribution in 1966 changed the seat's status from marginal Liberal to safe Labor, and since John Harman's win at the 1968 election, it has been held by the Labor Party.

Electoral district of Unley

Despite a Labor landslide, David Pisoni narrowly won despite a challenge from Labor's Michael Keenan, Unley's mayor, which could be due to the recent redistribution which saw the electorate take in more of the east in Bragg and less of the west in Ashford.

Electoral district of West Perth

The seat was generally safe for non-Labor candidates and parties throughout its existence, although a redistribution following the abolition of the seat of Perth prior to the 1950 election, which extended the seat east to Barrack Street, enabled Labor to hold the seat for its final three terms.

Greg Pickersgill

He created the Memory Hole (a combined permanent fanzine collection and redistribution system), the former Memory Hole internet forum (for discussing reading, collecting and archiving science fiction fanzines) and helped set up The Mexicon Hat (a charitable fund to assist projects related to British fandom; beneficiaries included the journal Critical Wave).

Henry Brinklow

For example, he reviled monasteries, but equally reviled the Dissolution of the Monasteries — despite also putting forward a "programme for full-scale redistribution of ecclesiastical wealth".

John David Maloney

After further redistribution in 2004, Maloney defeated Greg D'Amico and fellow Liberal MP Tony Tirabassi for the party's nomination in Welland.

Parksville-Qualicum

Following redistribution, the area became part of the Nanaimo-Parksville and Alberni-Qualicum ridings.

Richard Easterlin

He became interested in demography and population studies through his participation as a Research Associate from 1953 to 1955 in the landmark Study of population Redistribution and Economic Growth in the United States conducted by Simon Kuznets and Dorothy Thomas.

Robyn Read

In the 1991 redistribution, however, the neighbouring seat of Mosman was abolished, and Read was challenged by its Liberal MP, Phillip Smiles.

Shirley Timm-Rudolph

Re-elected to a second term in 1989, Timm-Rudolph lost to fellow councillor Rick Boychuk in 1992 after redistribution forced the two incumbents to face one another.

Sleepycat Software

Sleepycat distributed Berkeley DB under a proprietary software license that included standard commercial features, and simultaneously under the newly created Sleepycat License, which allows open source use and distribution of Berkeley DB with a copyleft redistribution condition similar to the GNU General Public License.

Steve Elder

After the seat was abolished in a redistribution, he was elected Member for Ripon from October 1992 to August 1999.

Tony Lupusella

Redistribution of electoral boundaries forced Lupusella to run against fellow NDP Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Ross McClellan for the party's nomination in Dovercourt after McClellan's Bellwoods riding was eliminated.
