Maybe it's just my impression, but NY (or at least upstate) seems exceptionally "clean" to me. Did they actually get a sound bipartisan compromise ?

Thank you so much, USF.

FL was drawn by a non-partisan commission, IIRC.  Blame the VRA.
No, the state legislature drew the map. It's just that now there is a state constitutional amendment imposing stricter rules on the process. Fat lot of good that did.
The legislature believed that those strict rules required those red squiggles.

Sorry, some of the Indiana districts were 40% GOP when they where supposed to be 50% GOP.  But I fixed it.

Do we have national numbers yet for the likely (or PVI) seat distributions?


I estimated the national totals a while ago and had Obama winning about 225-230 CDs, down from 242 under the old lines.

Interesting. I'm also kind of surprised by what looks like a majority of geographically large districts in New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada being red. No other states (maybe Illinois) seem to have that given the current rural and suburban voting distributions. Due to Republican control of redistricting?

Actually, my estimate was a bit low. I ran the tally again and, assuming Obama won both NH districts, he's won 234 districts overall on the new map.

This, to me says that if Democrats don't win back the House then they need to get some better people recruiting candidates.

Sort of. A court drew the map.

I clicked on DK's link to the Texas numbers, and it gave me North Carolina instead.  Sad  Same thing for their Washington link.

Yeah, me too. If anyone here has an account at DKE, they should post that in the comments. (Though I don't mind the attention to my state's crazy maps Wink)

Is this for the new Pres-by-CD numbers?

There is no way in hell the legislature would have done that good a job. It was of course, a court drawn affair.

The foremost requirement of the strict rules is to do racial gerrymandering.

Good map. It would be good to have a Kerry/Bush map where possible (even if no shading). Plenty of states have that information available (CA, PA, NJ, NY, etc.) and others (at-large states, New England, Deep South) are easily discernable.

The question is, how many of these districts did Obama win by less than 5? Those districts aren't guaranteed pickups and in places Obama over-performed they are basically republican districts.

I hope this helps more people than it confuses. I colored the CDs based on their numbers; I thought it would be a good reference. The color scheme is from DRA with a few modifications. Let me know if there are any errors. I'll add NH when its officially done w/ redistricting.

Why is KS colored in? They don't have a congressional map yet.

That was just the map we went with for the time being.

Then why not treat it like NH?

Kansas is the last state not to pass an official plan.  Here's New Hampshire, btw:  http://images.dailykos.com/i/user/303419/NH_map.html

We'll also have to change KS as some point as well.

Very, very early predictions. Didn't have time to be as detailed as I like to be, but this is my gut feeling map. I'm sure it will change quite a bit. I'm just assuming the KS map will stick, although I know that isn't likely.
