My take on Wisconsin:




1 (Milwaukee/Red): 74-25 Obama. 51.5% White, 30.4% Black, 12.9% Hispanic. Safe D
2 (Racine/Kenosha/Suburbs/Blue): 50-49 Obama. 84.8% White, 6.5% Hispanic, 5.1% Black. Lean R
3 (Madison/Janesville/Yellow): 70-28 Obama. 86.7% White, 4.7% Hispanic, 3.9% Black. Safe D
4 (La Crosse/Eau Claire/Stevens Point/Green): 60-39 Obama. 94.4% White. Likely D
5 (Superior/Wausau/Orange): 54-44 Obama. 94.4% White. Toss-Up
6 (Green Bay/Purple): 53-45 Obama. 92.0% White.  Toss-Up
7 (Oshkosh/Fond du Lac/Sheboygan/Green): 51-47 Obama. 92.6% White, 3.0% Hispanic. Likely R
8 (Waukesha/West Bend/Exurbs/Brown): 59-40 McCain. 93.0% White, 3.9% Hispanic. Safe R

Just remember how deceptive these Obama 2008 numbers are. These are similar to the ones they have now, and yes this is favorable to republicans, but I don't care, Its looks nice and clean. Instead of Paul Ryan's current district, I put a southeastern based district in the way. And for Sensenbrenner, he still has a safe Waukesha based district, but he gets Walworth county in there. And the 2nd district (Pocan) gets Janesville and almost everything in Rock County.

That looks like a fair map.

Sorry to butt in here, you don't have to count this or anything, but I did an 8-district South Carolina:



Blue: 63.3% McCain, 34.9% Obama = Safe R
Green: 62.2% McCain, 36.6% Obama = Safe R
Purple: 59.8% McCain, 38.8% Obama = Safe R
Red: 64.8% Obama, 34.3% McCain = Safe D
Yellow: 60.7% McCain, 38.1% Obama = Safe R
Teal: 55.6% Obama, 43.5% McCain = Likely D
Gray: 50.7% Obama, 48.1% McCain = Toss-Up
Slate Blue: 59.8% McCain, 39.0% Obama = Safe R

This sounds like a really fun series!

I guess Clyburn would run in the red colored district or maybe even the teal colored one.
