Hey, Muon2, are you going to drink the kook-aid and now put all those Dems in Columbus in one of more GOP districts, rather than just give up, and give them a CD, or, alternatively do something creative, and combine them with some Dems in Cleveland or Akron, thereby creating some hideous looking gerrymander for the ages map, or what?
What? You didn't appreciate my Sept. offering? Look how neat and compact most of the districts are as well. Of course, with the 5 district pick up this week, a map like this would still cost on GOP member in 2012.
If I assume GOP control, then this was my attempt to maximize their result. I kept counties as intact as possible and kept districts defensibly compact. The VRA district links Akron to Cleveland along the Cuyahoga Valley NP. Based on the nearly even presidential results of 2004 to judge the districts this would be 12-4 in favor of the GOP.
That thing is a monstrosity Well done
Yep, splitting Dayton and Cinci, plus dividing Columbus and environs up into
4 separate districts to ensure GOP domination in the congressional district is positively evil, Muon. I didn't know you were one of those
mad scientist types.
Sadly, I wouldn't put anything this horrid past the Ohio GOP.
