Challenge: Implement the Wyoming Rule

[Padfoot]

Here's Ohio.  Could go 15D-5R or 8D-12R depending on the year.




Cincinnati


Columbus


Cleveland-Akron

Very nice swingy Ohio.

Whats the black VAP in CD11?

I forgot to record it exactly but it I remember it was between 55-60%.  Also, the East Columbus and Cincinnati districts were around 30% black VAP if I remember right so they it is likely they could elect black representatives as well.

Here's OK with 7 seats.

I'd say its 6-1 R. Democrats could at least be competitive in the 7th.



A TX Democratic gerrymander with 45 seats is also on the way.

I don't know much about Oklahoma politics but if you ignore the '08 presidential numbers I would say that almost any of those districts could be won by a legitimate Blue Dog.  Granted, the Blue Dogs are dying out pretty rapidly but most of them typically can win in districts where the typical D-R split is less than ten points in favor of the Republicans.
