Dear Ms. Showalter,

I am looking into the redistricting of the council’s 9th district. I seems that the block where Mr. Conner has his residence was left in the 4th district until late in the plan preparation process. It also seems that the final plan would have had a better balance if the block had remained in the 4th district.

Would you please tell me what the population counts are for that census block (white, black, other minority, Hispanic, voting age). If it is available on-line, just the web address would be fine.

Thank you for your assistance,

….

I will need either the census block number or residence address in order to provide the information requested.

We are prohibited from providing anyone’s voter registration address to second parties. You are free to come into the office and view the official voter registration records that are open to public inspection, or the documents that he filed when he ran for office in 2008.
