Hillsdale County will be split into two different state Senate districts under a plan approved by the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission on Dec. 28.  On the new map, Hillsdale and Jonesville are in district 16 and Allen and Reading are in district 17.  The new maps enacted by the commission give Democrats a chance of flipping the state legislature by creating several competitive districts in suburban areas, according to Bridge Michigan.
