Great thread. Unsurprising that Dems best is urban, and often majority-minority. Though the GOP dist is as urban or almost as urban, in NY, AK, HI, UT, and NH. Which Dem SD's are majority white--I'd guess VT, NH, ME, ID, WY, UT, IA, and AK. Interesting how the most GOP district is often exurban rather than rural, even if the overall lean of the rural areas is more GOP. (Ark. is a surprise with it being exurban Little Rock rather than NW Ark.)

Anyone have the link to the CD threads?

And most of the states that have white majority D areas are going to be states with very little minority areas anyway. ME, NH, VT, ID, WY, UT, probably IA (though not 100% sure). That Alaska district is majority native Alaskan though. Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, and Montana will probably have majority white D districts (MT and OR don't have election data, unfortunately) too.

To comment on Arkansas, I was surprised to see how Republican the northern end of Lonoke County is. Its consistently ~78% McCain. I didn't even try to pull one in the NW, but someone could try.

NW AR seems to be a lot like eastern TN - the R votes are pretty evenly spread out and less polarized than in the rest of the state. Lots of precincts were in the high 60's/low 70's. This one is 75.7/22.0, which is about the most I could get:

Still incredible to me that you can draw a +60% district in NYC limits (and not even on Staten Island, at that), even though I understand why.

I checked Iowa and that Des Moines district was ~55% white. An Iowa City-Cedar Rapids district is almost as Democratic, but >80% white.

You don't need Cedar Rapids. Staying within Iowa City one can make a SD with 75.4% Obama and 82.8% WVAP.
