I'll start:

Biden 2020 got more votes than Romney 2012 in all 9 of Arizona's Congressional Districts. Yep that includes deeply Republican AZ-09.

Another fun one: There is a current Congressional district that was over Trump + 40% in 2020 that has over 100k black population and 290k Hispanic. Kudos to whoever can figure out what it is.

Definitely in exurban Houston. Maybe some ofMontgomery County, Liberty County, stretching into eastern Harris and then some rurals to boost the margin.

Nope. Sorry for the confusion but this is a real current congressional district.

There's always the tried and true: There were more Trump voters in Los Angeles County than in all of Oklahoma. Or the state with the most votes from Trump was California.

In that same vein Biden got more votes in TX and FL than he did in NY.

Infact FL gave Biden the next biggest raw vote total after CA.

I’m kinda surprised Florida beats Texas

Texas is generally a very low turnout state.

North Carolina had a congressional district that included all of Mitchell, Avery, Burke, Catawba, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg in the 1980s.

Another one in a simillar vein; this hypoethical AZ Congressional District had just 8k Residents in 1990:
