Homely's new maps thread

[homelycooking]

No, I've heard the phrase used by males 15-30 from all over the country.

But probably not with reference to a big new electoral map they've just made.

I like the little skin tag up around but very precisely not actually including Poughkeepsie.

Well, the district contains almost all of Poughkeepsie Town - including Vassar College - but none of the city, which is in Hinchey's delightfully gerrymandered district.

Time for some more precinct magic.

THE CHAMP IS HERE, STEP ASIDE

Pff, you guys think that was impressive? Wait 'till you see what's up next.

Sunday, March 18.

It's coming. Be ready.

Excellent work!

Could you do NY 24 and NY 25 when you get a chance?

Yes, but it won't be for a while. Each one of these maps takes me around 5 hours to make.

[homelycooking]

This takes us up to 8 NY districts mapped for 2010: here's 24 and 25.

Fuzzy, I've got another request for you. Could you compile a precinct map for the 2008 presidential election ? That would be great. I don't know if you have all the data, but do with what you have.

What? You may have the wrong thread, my friend.

*facepalm*

I'm sorry ! You're both awesome mapmakers, so I got confused... I meant you, of course.

Are you looking for a precinct map of the whole state? If so, keep in mind:

1. I will be very busy the next few months. A map like that will take me a very long time.

2. I doubt that my laptop computer - the only one I have reliable access to - is capable of accommodating a MS Paint file as large as would need be to show adequate detail.

I'll consider exploring that this summer, if I have sufficient time and energy.

But, in the meantime, here's a bold new map:

Castle v O'Donnell 2010: "The Fatal Error"

[homelycooking]

I can actually do it town-by-town if you'd like - it's currently about halfway done. A map has already been made for 2008, however:

...but, of course, it's not in 5% scale.

[homelycooking]

Behold! Two of my greatest projects ever are now complete.

[homelycooking]

Edit : don't you have a bigger format ? I barely manage to read the candidate's name even with right click.

I don't. Maybe you could suggest something - I've tried a number of ways to upload the images, and I can't seem to make them any larger.

An esoteric map, granted, but interesting nonetheless:

For the first time in living color: the celebrated earmuffs district!

Shouldn't Amherst be a demonym? It's named after Jeffrey Amherst, First Baron Amherst.

Good find. There were a few mistakes in that map, so here's an updated version:

A map of the 2010 CT 1st CD election by voting district. As far as I know, it is the first one of its kind ever made for a Connecticut congressional district.

Connecticut's original Senate ménage à trois

Working on some very interesting PVI analysis of CT politics at the moment.

[homelycooking]

Only two R+ towns left in Hartford County. Simsbury went from R+15 to D+3 in less than 30 years.

Wait until I do Litchfield County - the PVI swings there are incredible.
