41 Gig Harbor - Tacoma West End 99262, 84w-5h, 55.1% Obama, 57.2% Murray. You'd think she was a local or something. She's from far northern King. What's up with that?

Alcon or Meeker could probably give you a more definitive answer, but I would assume the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge is the reason. Murray is chairwoman of the subcommittee that funds transportation, IIRC.

Effing Orange. I'm sure parts of this could be done better but I ran out of patience.



269 La Habra - Fullerton Sunny Hills 97747, 41h-29w-27a, 51.4% McCain, 58.4% Whitman
270 Fullerton 100065, 41h-40w-14a, 51.7% Obama, 55.9% Whitman. White plurality VAP. I'm not doing the crawling snakelike thing (combining La Habra and the southern parts of this...) needed for another genuine Hispanic opportunity district.
271 Brea - Placentia (white parts of, actually) - Yorba Linda W 104457, 55w-22h-18a, 58.8% McCain, 67.2% Whitman
272 Anaheim Hill & Canyon - Yorba Linda E 103775, 63w-16h-16a, 62.7% McCain, 71.8% Whitman
273 Anaheim EC 99267, 67h-20w, 59.3% Obama, 53.5% Brown
274 Anaheim WC 99502, 63h-19w-14a, 58.6% Obama, 54.4% Brown
275 Anaheim W - Stanton 100217, 49h-24w-21a, 55.1% Obama, 51.1% Brown
276 Garden Grove E 101767, 57h-23a-17w, 54.8% Obama, 52.1% Brown (yeah, yeah, ignored the municipal boundary in favor of a thoroughfare)
277 Garden Grove W 102584, 46a-32h-20w, 51.8% Obama, 53.0% Whitman
278 Buena Park - La Palma 96888, 37h-30a-27w, 54.1% Obama, 51.5% Whitman
279 Cypress - Seal Beach (- etc) 104017, 62w-18a-16h, 54.1% McCain, 60.3% Whitman
280 Westminster 98185, 48a-25w-24h, 56.9% McCain(!), 57.6% Whitman
281 Huntington Beach NW 95208, 62w-22h-12a, 54.3% McCain, 63.6% Whitman
282 Huntington Beach S 97475, 73w-13h-11a, 53.1% McCain, 63.7% Whitman
283 Fountain Valley - Santa Ana North Harbor 104605, 34h-34a-29w, 53.9% McCain, 59.2% Whitman. Hispanics third on VAP. Combining two welldefined areas that border each other, have no obvious partner, have the right population when taken together, but also have not much in common. Classic Rossendale & Darwen style.
284 Santa Ana NW 104616, 87h, 73.3% Obama, 69.9% Brown
285 Santa Ana S 101441, 78h-10a, 69.4% Obama, 65.4% Brown
286 Santa Ana E - Tustin 101226, 64h-21w-12a, 60.0% Obama, 51.5% Brown
287 Orange W - Santa Ana NE 101305, 49h-40w, 51.7% Obama, 56.2% Whitman. White VAP plurality.
288 North Tustin - Orange E 103538, 60w-23h-13a, 60.2% McCain, 70.0% Whitman
289 Irvine N 104759, 44a-39w, 55.9% Obama, 57.8% Whitman. This is actually a mild attempt at keeping the white and asian (majority) parts of Irvine apart. Probably quite useless, everywhere in Irvine has considerable numbers of both.
290 Irvine S 97551, 50w-34a, 60.3% Obama, 51.4% Whitman. And they don't even vote as you'd expect at first.
291 Costa Mesa 99315, 49w-38h, 53.4% Obama, 57.8% Whitman
292 Newport Beach - Costa Mesa S 96735, 82w, 57.3% McCain, 70.6% Whitman
293 Foothill Ranch - Lake Forest 97419, 60w-22h-14a, 52.6% McCain, 62.6% Whitman
294 Rancho Santa Margarita - Ladera Ranch 97055, 70w-15h, 58.2% McCain, 71.7% Whitman
295 Mission Viejo 99224, 68w-19h, 55.1% McCain, 66.6% Whitman
296 Laguna Niguel N - Aliso Viejo 96481, 65w-17h-13a, 50.5% Obama, 61.2% Whitman
297 Laguna Beach - Laguna Niguel S - Dana Point 101323, 75w-12h, 51.3% Obama, 61.3% Whitman
298 San Clemente - San Juan Capistrano 102445, 70w-23h, 57.0% McCain, 67.0% Whitman

I would have actually kept the area in west Irvine with UC Irvine and areas to the south of I-405. That is the area I was usually in and did not go to east Irvine as much.

It's too bad I missed this. I actually plan on doing Minnesota when I get some time (when that is who knows) and will compare it to Lewis's. A few quibbles for now:


2 Carlton - Aitkin - Lake Superior 102372, 93, 58.7% Obama

ick. I see what you were trying to do in keeping this area separate from the mining belt, but that area doesn't really extend into Grand Rapids either. I'd rather pair Carlton and Pine (as they are in the State Senate) and would be fine with adding the mining towns with the northeastern corner.  Northern Pine should not be lumped in with the exurbs

7 Fargo - Detroit Lakes 98881, 92, 50.4% Obama

Everyone in Moorhead hates you.

10 Sherburne - Benton 98058, 95, 59.2% McCain. His best result in the state.

Rural Benton doesn't really belong with those places in southern Sherburne. A bit tricky to draw though I'll admit, I'll see when I take a stab at it.

11 Saint Cloud 103664, 87-6b, 51.0% Obama. Includes the suburban municipalities of Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park and Le Sauk, is in three counties like the city is, and is technically noncontiguous because the city is towards the southwest and I didn't want to split another municipality (couldn't cover it whole).

Most people in St. Cloud don't care about being split. Not only is the southern part of the city rather rural despite incorporation, the different neighborhoods are so different and don't really affiliate with each other. The people in the liberal part think of the people in the south and west (and most of the suburbs) as dumb rednecks just as much as Twin Citians do. Of course not anywhere else you could've put this, so good job.

12 Stearns - Pope - Stevens 96591, 95, 55.4% McCain

This might look good on a map, but the way people travel makes it a little odd. Look at I-94. Of course you don't want Alexandria in with western Stearns so I'll forgive this.

16 Mankato 104100, 91, 52.4% Obama. Really hard to tell on the map, but does include the city of North Mankato.
17 Nicollet - Le Sueur - Sibley - McLeod 98913, 92-5h, 53.1% McCain

No No NO. You do not split Mankato and Nicollet. The southern tip of Nicollet (North Mankato) is so integrated with Mankato the sign when entering says "Mankato" on one line and "North Mankato" on a bottom one with the combined population (and that's not just one sign, it's literally every sign when you enter either one.) and there's no street sign when you cross from to the other (a county one though yes.) Also you don't split St. Peter from Mankato either. And this area does not belong with McLeod. Also you can split Mankato from the rest of Blue Earth and no one cares, Mankato is more associated with the towns along the river in Nicollet than the rest of Blue Earth, since that area aside from a couple towns that could be considered suburbs really doesn't think of Mankato as much than the place they have to travel to when they go on big shopping trips and where they might want their kids to go to college just so they can stay close to home. Same with Waseca, which is more closely affiliated with Owatonna.

20 Winona - Houston - South Olmsted 95895, 95, 53.3% Obama
21 Rochester 104220, 79-7a-6b-5h, 53.7% Obama. Excludes the two southernmost precincts which are in 20.

Rochester is just over 100k in population. Is it split?



23 South Dakota 96589, 90, 50.0% McCain
24 North Dakota 99074, 78-10h, 57.5% Obama. Eagan and Inver Grove Heights split.

Cheesy

In reality there would no doubt be an -ern added to the first words in this seats to avoid confusion, but I'm sure Lewis loves that.

29 Eden Prairie - Minnetonka (bulk - Bloomington NW) 104622, 85-6a, 52.6% Obama

I'd rather pair Eden Prairie with Chanhassen than with Minnetonka and Chanhassen with the rest of Carver.

33 Minneapolis Southwest 97285, 84-5b, 80.3% Obama
34 Minneapolis South 97652, 48-23h-19b, 84.0% Obama. Best in the state. White majority VAP.
35 Minneapolis East 97009, 73-9b-7h-6a, 77.2% Obama. Includes Saint Anthony (portion in Hennepin)
I don't like this. You have me in the same district as the southeast corner and the airport, even though no sane person would drive to the airport from where I live without crossing through the SW Minneapolis district (unless you wanted to swing by the Lake Street Target first or were trying to avoid the Interstate because of fear of being stranded there in a snowstorm, since I work near the airport I'm VERY familiar with how this works), and while the light rail and Highway 55 serves as a connection to the region, you also awkwardly sliced off part of SE Minneapolis and put the Hiawatha neighborhood in the same district as the U. I'm thinking of the places in SE Minneapolis I like to visit and realize a lot are for no reason connected with Nordeast instead of the other places in the SE. There's no reason to use Highway 55 as a border. I get you were trying to include the minority areas in Phillips and around the I-35 corridor out of the white areas in the SW, but people care more about neighborhood than race in regards to this. I'll see what I can do.

Certainly would look better; and as I mentioned the racial gerry is pretty useless. Not sure where the line would end up, obviously.
I'd rather pair Carlton and Pine (as they are in the State Senate) and would be fine with adding the mining towns with the northeastern corner.  Northern Pine should not be lumped in with the exurbs
I tried several configurations around here. Basically this is the one (that I found) where only one district seemed awkward to me. Also partly dictated by the Native Influence district, of course.

The alternative is to split that and the one to the south east-west. Alexandria's people are needed to the north.

Ah, that's more like it. Still, you then need to cut across the river elsewhere as well, and split more counties. That's another place I played around with a lot to find a map with as few county splits as possible - there're just two in Southern (non-metro) Minnesota, not counting Olmsted.

Eh for a lot of those I was going more on how the map looked than the text. I see now Rochester is it's own seat, it's just the dark brown color and too similar to the light brown district above. Mankato probably requires a zoom in to see that. Still let me emphasize that there is no need to keep Mankato and the rest of Blue Earth together. People from Mankato don't even think of themselves as being "from" Blue Earth, the way it works is Blue Earth County means rural Blue Earth, Nicollet County means the rural parts and St. Peter, and Mankato/North Mankato are thought of as like some type of Virginia-style independent city.

A central district in Minneapolis is kind of tricky, because the central area is the downtown district that not many people live in. The current state legislature map for some strange region just carves it up and adds pieces of it to various nearby districts even though it's small enough to fit in its own State House district, probably because doing so would make respecting communities in other State House districts difficult. I guess I'll find out when I try it.

Aw, please stick to "the rules". Sad Increasing deviation for more reasonable districts is such a cowardly, moderate thing to do.

'nyways, Georgia. 97 districts. This is kinda clockwise from west of Atlanta, with the heart of the metro at the end.



1 Carroll (bulk of) 100672, 72 w, 18 b, 65.6 McCain
2 E Paulding 97697, 72 w, 19 b, 66.1 McCain

22 Elbert - Madison - Lincoln - Wilkes (bulk of) - Oglethorpe - E Clarke 96657, 73 w, 21 b, 60.0 McCain. Slight mess-up of the numbering scheme here, as I just notice...
23 Newton 99958, 52 w, 40 b, 50.3 Obama. Won't be majority White for long.
24 Oconee - Morgan - Putnam - Jasper - N Jones - W Greene 99165, 76 w, 17 b, 68.0 McCain
25 Laurens - Johnson - Wilkinson - Twiggs - S Jones 97795, 62 w, 34 b, 58.9 McCain
26 Baldwin - Hancock - Taliaferro - E Greene - S Wilkes - S Jefferson 102187, 51 b, 44 w, 58.1 Obama. Failed to get this over 50% VAP.

38 S Glynn - Camden 103417, 66 w, 25 b, 58.5 McCain

39 Ware - Charlton - Brantley - Pierce - Bacon 96748, 76 w, 19 b, 73.9 McCain

40 oof. 8 counties plus a bit of Lowndes. 100141, 69 w, 22 b, 66.8 McCain
41 Lowndes 102047, 54 w, 37 b, 52.7 McCain

42 Brooks - Colquitt - Thomas (bulk of) 101363, 58 w, 31 b, 60.7 McCain
43 Grady - Mitchell - Decatur - Seminole - Miller - NW Thomas 96303, 56 w, 37 b, 58.9 McCain

44 10 counties north and west of Albany 95300, 54 b, 39 w, 55.3 Obama. And yeah, Black VAP majority.
45 Dougherty - Baker 98016, 66 b, 30 w, 66.6 Obama
46 Lee - Worth - Tiff - Turner 100573, 65 w, 28 b, 68.6 McCain

47 6 counties around Jeff Davis so far avoided, S Dodge 102427, 63 w, 27 b, 65.9 McCain
48 5 counties west of that, N Dodge, S Houston 104155, 59 w, 36 b, 62.7 McCain
49 Warner Robins 103181, 59 w, 29 b, 58.3 McCain
50 W Bibb - Peach - W Houston 103338, 60 w, 31 b, 60.8 McCain. The bizarre shape of Crawford County means that this district is technically noncontiguous - though the DRA's tool for finding trapped precincts considers it contiguous.
51 Macon 101875, 66 b, 30 w, 73.0 Obama

52 Muscogee S - Chattahoochee 100991, 65 b, 23 w, 87.5 Obama

58 S Clayton - E Fayette 97239, 56 b, 30 w, 63.8 Obama. Area in Fayette is majority White but is "Blackest" part.
59 W Clayton (Riverdale) 96373, 74 b, 12 h, 90.6 Obama
60 N Clayton (Forest Park) 98367, 58 b, 19 h, 14 w, 82.6 Obama
61 Coweta (bulk of) 100552, 70 w, 20 b, 68.1 McCain

63 NE Douglas 101290, 45 b, 41 w, 59.5 Obama. Still plurality White VAP. For now.
64 S Fulton 104430, 86 b, 92.2 Obama
65 S Atlanta - East Point 97046, 81 b, 92.2 Obama
66 SE Atlanta 102014, 67 b, 24 w, 91.7 Obama
67 W Atlanta 104121, 93 b, 98.3 Obama

72 Alpharetta - Milton 104185, 70 w, 11 Asian, 62.5 McCain

73 Cobb NE ("Blackwells - Shallowford"?) 97281, 80 w, 64.2 McCain
74 Cobb E ("Vinings - Mount Bethel"?) 96336, 66 w, 17 b, 57.0 McCain
75 Cobb C (Marietta. Sorry for the precincts with noncontiguous bits, they follow the noncontiguous city boundary.) 99573, 35 w, 31 b, 28 h, 60.6 Obama
76 Cobb S (Smyrna) 101689, 46 w, 32 b, 16 h, 54.6 Obama
77 Cobb SW (Austell - Powder Springs) 95034, 51 b, 30 w, 15 h, 66.9 Obama. Not majority VAP, not that it matters.
78 Cobb W ("Red Rock - Lost Mountain"?) 95352, 77 w, 14 b, 70.7 McCain
79 Cobb N (Kennesaw - Acworth)102513, 61 w, 20 b, 11 h, 57.3 McCain

And we jump across to the other side of Atlanta...
80 Henry SE (McDonough) 104618, 61 w, 30 b, 60.1 McCain
81 Henry NW (Stockbridge - Hampton) 99304, 43 w, 43 b, 54.4 Obama. Plurality White (total population) by 31 persons on Census Day, but obviously not by today.

82 Rockdale (and a tiny angle into DeKalb to boost the Black plurality. Still no VAP majority... in 2010.) 100696, 53 b, 35 w, 59.3 Obama
83 DeKalb SE (Redon - Stone Mountain) 96083, 89 b, 95.1 Obama
84 DeKalb C ("Stockdale"?) 98650, 69 b, 14 w, 89.3 Obama
85 DeKalb S (Panthersville - Snapfinger. Beautiful place names.) 97950, 94 b, 97.8 Obama
86 DeKalb SW (East Atlanta - Gresham Park - Belvedere Park) 97203, 73 b, 22 w, 92.9 Obama
87 DeKalb W (Decatur - Druid Hills) 100716, 61 w, 17 h, 13 b, 71.8 Obama
88 DeKalb N (Dunwoody) 100961, 56 w, 21 h, 12 b, 10 a, 50.5 Obama
89 DeKalb NE (Tucker - Trickem. With Trickem being the Gwinnett bit.) 102129, 54 w, 18 h, 18 b, 53.5 Obama
90 Gwinnett W ("Lilburn - Norcross"?) 96779, 50 h, 22 b, 15 w, 11 a. Over 50 on total population. 67.8 Obama
91 Gwinnett WC ("McDaniel Farm Park"??) 101439, 34 h, 25 b, 22 w, 17 a, 61.4 Obama
92 Gwinnett NW (Duluth - Suwannee) 96233, 58 w, 18 a, 14 b, 61.6 McCain
93 Gwinnett N (Burford - Sugar Hill) 97675, 65 w, 13 h, 13 b, 69.7 McCain
94 Gwinnett E ("Dacula - Allendale"?) 100995, 58 w, 18 b, 14 a, 62.2 McCain
95 Gwinnett EC (Lawrenceville) 98300, 32 w, 30 b, 24 h, 11 a, 56.7 Obama
96 Gwinnett SC ("Five Forks - Snellville N"? This is a gerry and it shows.) 101694, 59 w, 20 b, 63.9 McCain
97 Gwinnett S ("Snellville S - Centerville"?) 94626, 45 b, 38 w, 10 h, 57.0 Obama

The metro maps really highlight how diverse the Atlanta area has become. I think it surprises some people who see the city as strictly black and white. We're marching toward plurality status which will shape the politics. Also, good to see a lot of white Democrats in many of these districts.

299 Mojave Desert 99296, 68w-20h, 58.4% McCain, 59.5% Whitman. Two thirds of the population is in Morongo Valley / Yucca Valley / 29 Palms, but there seems to be no collective name for that area - wiki entries for the latter two state flatly that they're located in the Mojave Desert.
300 Barstow - Adelanto 100864, 46h-32-w-15b, 50.1% McCain, 53.3% Whitman
301 Victorville 102081, 48h-31w-14b, 53.8% Obama, 50.1% Whitman

303 Hesperia - Phelan 99592, 46w-45h, 61.3% McCain, 63.5% Whitman. They're not really any more affluent than Victorville...
304 San Bernardino Mountains - Highland E 103727, 65w-23h, 58.0% McCain, 60.5% Whitman



305 Rancho Cucamonga E 104772, 38h-36w-13a-11b, 55.7% Obama, 50.4% Brown. White plurality VAP.

317 Redlands N - Highland W 96302, 50h-28w-11b, 60.0% Obama, 58.5% Brown. Majority on total population.
318 Redlands S - Yucaipa - Loma Linda 98710, 61w-23h, 57.2% McCain, 60.7% Whitman

319 Riverside N - Grand Terrace 95331, 48h-27w-12a, 65.1% Obama, 61.0% Brown. The crosscounty district. The districts in the northwestern part of the county are all so small, and those elsewhere in it all so large... it kinda happened that way.
320 Riverside S - Woodcrest 94906, 53w-26h, 52.6% McCain, 57.9% Whitman
321 Riverside W - Home Gardens 95798, 62h-25w, 58.0% Obama, 54.3% Brown

339 Indio 96861, 60h-35w, 54.7% Obama, 53.2% Whitman
340 Coachella - La Quinta 103101, 76h-22w, 58.4% Obama, 50.0% Whitman. By five votes. Differential turnout; Coachella is pretty literally all Mexican, La Quinta is White.

seatown's Oregon map really ought to be reworked to fit into the general rules used, but with the state offering no opportunities for a minority district (maybe a coalition district in Portland) and with no election figures, I just cannot bother right now. Or maybe it's just that the elation at being finished with California is too overwhelming. Never. Again.

The green seat in North Portland has a lot of Blacks, and Hillsborough district has a lot of Hispanics. I don't think my map violates any of the rules except for the Eugene ruruban gerrymander(but that would be OK under my self imposed rules, Canada does it for Regina and Saskatoon.

This was what I was referring to.
Going to work on Oregon with 37 districts. It'll be a little more liberal with 20% population deviation, as ridings are done in Canada.

We have 25% deviation. Some provincial commissions try and use 5%, while others like to use the 25% deviation quite liberally.
I decided use 25k to make it easier.

Anyone want to follow up with either of these:

Good work! Looking forward to seeing SoCal. When you are all done are we going to get Obama v. McCain totals nationwide?
Some states don't have that data up in the DRA.

I think some of the New England states have since put that data up. It would be good to see that data.

It would also be interesting to list Obama districts in solidly McCain states (or Obama NHWhite majority in the South and Southwest) [as well as visa versa]. I'll start with Utah.

Districts 9, 10, 11, 13, 15 in Utah, all in the Salt Lake City area, which all border each other.


9 East Millcreek - Holladay - Park City 96363, 87-7, 55.6% Obama
10 Salt Lake City South 99040, 75-15, 67.7% Obama. And South Salt Lake.
11 Salt Lake City North 100042, 58-28-8 asian, 68.7% Obama
13 West Valley City North 95729, 53-34-9 asian, 50.6% Obama
15 Murray - Taylorsville East 99866, 77-14, 49.6% Obama




Here's Nebraska:


9 Lincoln North - Seward 98464, 83w, 49.5% Obama, R avg
10 Lincoln E 99089, 81w, 58.1% Obama
16 Omaha West 104559, 83w, 50.8% Obama, R avg
17 Omaha North 104171, 46w, 39b, white VAP majority, 73.7% Obama
18 Omaha South 100415, 54 w, 35 h, 60.1% Obama

11 whatever you want to call this; Miami, Franklin, Osage, Coffee and Linn Counties and Edgerton from Johnson County to bring it within tolerance. 95998, 94, 63.0% McCain
12 Crawford, Bourbon, Cherokee, Labette 97513, 89, 55.0% McCain. They all have their semi-sizable town.
13 Chanute - Coffeyville - Eureka 9 counties, 99412, 89, 66.1% McCain
14 Emporia - El Dorado 5 1/2 counties, 94862, 85, 61.0% McCain. Had to do a fine cut of Butler to keep within tolerance.
15 Sumner, Cowley, S Butler 93577, 88, 64.8% McCain. This is 4804 below quota.


First post to this website, so I'll start with something small.

If you want a name for #11 in the Kansas map above, I like "Marais des Cygnes", the name of a local river that flows through 4 of the district's counties.

The Northeast Panhandle district in Texas rules the roost at 86.0% McCain.

American Fork-Alpine in Utah County, Utah, though only 81.4% for McCain, was almost certainly more than 90% for Romney (and some of the other Utah County districts might have been, too). The Texas panhandle did not move much in 2012, so American Fork-Alpine wins in 2012.

First post to this website, so I'll start with something small.

If you want a name for #11 in the Kansas map above, I like "Marais des Cygnes", the name of a local river that flows through 4 of the district's counties.
Pretty in English, too. Swamp of Swans.
