Most Democrat Possible District by State

[nclib]

Here's a map of these:

Are you doing actual CD's for states that haven't been done in this thread?

[nclib]

In Mass., the Boston-Cambridge-Somerville CD (now MA-7, was MA-8) is not far from a max pack.

84.3% Obama: old MA-8
81.9% Obama: new MA-7
85.3% Obama: Max pack

Comparing each state's most Dem CD possible with each state's most Repub CD possible:

Green = unsure
Gray = at-large CD

Texas:



The red district is 84.3% Obama, 15.7% McCain. It's 41.8% black, 39.7% hispanic, and 15.7% non-hispanic white. Rest of the state was 57.0% McCain, 43.0% Obama.

For an added bonus, the district right next to it is a 66.2% Obama district, contained entirely within Tarrant County.

Has anyone tried the south counties along the border?

[nclib]

Yes, but some of those counties are over 80% Obama, probably more so right along the border. I would try, but the program crashes for me, for a state that large.
