Race-Based House Districts

[bagelman]

Have you considered using DRA 2020? Might save you a headache or two in the larger states. Great project and I'm excited to see more.

I went ahead and did an unofficial Arkansas. I might do various other maps, but I don't want to post them without consent from the thread master.

Edit: I let myself go and done a bunch of others, but the previous caveat still applies.

Honestly while it is a long way off I wonder if any of the minoritt districts will vote R or at least be competitive

There will definitely be a few R-leaning Hispanic districts in Southern Florida. Not sure about others though. I'll probably need everybody's help when we get to non-White, non-Black districts.

Are you continuing with this series anytime soon?

All of the links posted by Timmy or me should be considered unofficial, but if Timmy's just going to linkdump to his maps, I may as well do the same, and do so in just one post. I made all of these back during the ides of March but didn't want to actually post them because this isn't my thread.

Whites:

AR alternate version without a Little Rock dedicated district.

LA

Blacks:

CA

FL

GA

LA

MI

NC

NJ/DE DE is all in the 2nd district

NY

I have a better crown that isn't pink

Well, I'm glad this thread is generating so much interest all of a sudden, and I don't mind you posting your own maps in this thread, but as far as I'm concerned, I've already drawn all the districts and I'm not really interested in changing them unless a specific issue with my own maps is brought to my attention. What's left for me, and the reason this thread is going fairly slowly, is making guesses about their politics. So tbh I'd rather get input on that than on the maps themselves.

Thanks for responding. If I could be useful in any way to this project, is to suggest not overthinking many obviously Safe R districts especially in the south. LA are OK are probably 4-0 R for example. So it's OK to just post it and call a spade a spade. I think the reason we're jumping the gun is that we're just hungry to see more maps.

Louisiana may have competitive elections via jungle primaries, and NOLA may be the most able to election more moderate Republicans. Hopeless Democratic candidates would also overpreform there. Ultimately, all seats are Safe R regardless.

A map underlay would really help for states like AZ.

What do you mean by that?

I meant that for some states like AZ, NY, CA where there are a lot of seats in urban areas, it would be helpful to see the map. The one that shows city names, roads etc.
