The 100k Districts Series

[LastVoter]

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.

Eastern Oregon: all of the districts are about -20k below quota
Bend Area:
District 1(blue)- the most left leaning area, considering it's it a town in a toss-up Deschutes county.
District 2(working class & Hispanic) suburbs of Bend, also pretty left-leaning
The rest of the districts are solidly right-wing.
Western Oregon:
Coastal districts are underpopulated like Eastern Oregon.
District 9(marine blue): is the most right-wing coastal district.
The rest are all pretty left leaning(green, brown, dark blue)
Southern Oregon:
There is an urban Medford-Ashland district that's also pretty left leaning.
Two Rural districts that are very right wing. Blue and pink.
Light green district is partially in Southern Oregon and Willamette valley, and it's also right-wing but not as right-wing as the two districts in Southern Oregon.
Willamette Valley:
3 rural right wing districts: light brown, dark brown and red.
Eugene has 3 rurban districts, and all should be pretty left-leaning. Blue pink and orange.
Corvallis-Albany is a yellow district that should also be pretty left wing.
Salem has two districts that should be moderately left.
Portland Area:
Grey district is the rich suburban district that acts as a vote sink, the only district in Portland Metro that can conceivably vote Republican, also the whitest suburban district, only Portland itself can get a whiter district.
Washington County:
Purple - Hillsboro district, has a lot of Hispanics, should be fairly left-wing.
Light Green- Tualitin based district, should also be fairl left-wing.
Light Pink- has parts of suburban Beaverton and northwest portland & hills, fairly rich area, but should still be left-wing
Light gray- Other part of Portland's hills and downtown Beaverton
Multnomah County:
Light blue: The minority district in north Portland, has 15.4% black VAP
Green: the Urban district, 83.3 White, probably the whitest such district possible anywhere in US.
Yellow: Southern Portland
Purple: Eastern Portland
Orange: Eastern suburbs(Gresham, not sure how they vote, but I am assuming pretty left-wing
Lavender: Also eastern suburbs, contains troutdale, and parts of Eastern Portland.
Clackamas county:
Blue:
Light blue: contains Milwaukee and foothills
Blue: contains Oregon City.

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.
