Websites like Redraw the states?

[sentinel]

Do ya'll know of any websites similar to this one where you can redraw the states in a political setting?

I find it fun so I'm interested in what else is out there.

(also posted in What-Ifs, but I figured I'd ask you guys too)

@Scott - I was enjoying messing around with it too but yeah those smaller counties are impossible to hit. Nice move on getting rid of Delaware, FTW

If one of the mods wants to move this thread to Political Geography and Demographics, I'll merge it with the thread on that board.

Negative, don't. I posted it here in case people who don't look at the other board happen to know. It's a question for the community as a whole.

In that case a link to the topic on the other board would be better, and the content should move. All the boards are for the community, this board is for topics about the forum community.

What? I posted it here because I wanted a broad audience for a broad question. Had you not replied it could have died and everyone would be happier.

I replied because I didn't want the content to die, but to merge it with the other thread. That way everyone is sharing their map ideas with this tool in one place.

Dude, I already commented in the other thread before you replied. Plus, this post is not about sharing map ideas, this post is asking if there is other tools out there which are similar.

The political geography board is essentially dead and mostly devoted to an extremely in-depth and limited-interest discussion of one retiree's attempts to redistrict a small city in the Northeastern US, so I think that Sentinel is much better off posting this here. I would not have seen it for months if it had been left in the topology ghetto.

Sentinel: I recommend getting a student copy of Tableau. You can get a one year license if you have a school email address. It's not quite as easy as using a ready-to-go application like the Redraw the States tool, but if you want to quickly create custom county or zip code-level maps and calculate results and demographics for new areas it's probably one of the easiest options. (And it is also a widely used data visualization tool with many other potential applications.)

Why thank you!
