Republican gerrymander, but WI democrats could pick up the chamber in a decent year. SD-17, the incumbent is retiring: pick up opportunity. I will update this when I will have more informations.

WY democrats failed to hold the most liberal district, but they hold some rep leaning districts: strange.

We can see the SC democratic is extremely competitive by electing people in such conservative districts. I can see 2 reasons:
-the SC democratic party always runs good recruits and SC was extremely democrat before (see the 1932,1936 election ). Vincent Sheheen is definitely a strong recruit.
-The SC republican party is definitely a MESS (Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham are two exceptions though): Nikki  Haley, Mark Sanford, the tea party has an important influence in the SC GOP.

There is also another reason, we still have a few long time incumbent blue dogs.  In the 26th district the other Nikki, Nikki Setzler, is a conservative blue dog who has been in office since 1976.  I fully expect that when he leaves the Senate, the GOP will pick up his seat, much as the GOP picked up the 25th when Tommy Moore left.

Great work, Windjammer. Can anyone map these states by Dem PVI and Rep PVI?

[muon2]

Nice job. I was comparing your results to mine in IL where I have the presidential returns of 2004 and 2008 overlaid onto the current (post 2011) House and Senate districts. We don't always agree, so I was wondering what you used as the source of your election data in IL?

For the IL 2008 results, I have used Dave redistricting and DKE (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz_uFI8VY7xLUzlwSXBjbkJjZU0&usp=sharing).
For the IL 2012 results, I have used this site: http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/results/president
(with the trend of the counties).
To be honest, Illinois was extremely difficult to do because of the blatant dem gerrymander (seriously, horrible map). And this is probably the state where the PVI is the least accurate because in the county where Chicago, we have too many districts.
So honestly, I don't know which site you have used, but your work is probably much more accurate than mine. Illinois was extremely difficult to do.

I'm not sure how to convert them to PVI.

For example, Romney had 58.0% of the statewide 2-way vote, and 72.9% in SD-1.  Do you make the state 50-50, and SD-1 64.9% Romney?   Or is it based on the national PVI vote.

SD-4 is technically vacant, but only Republicans are running in the special election.

I have used this site for Texas which has the 2008 and 2012 results for each senate district.
What I have done for each senate district: [(Obama2008-Mccain2008)/2-3.6 +(Obama2012-Mccain2012)/2-1.95]/2

Those numbers match those from the Texas redistricting site.

So if the results shifted (3.6 + 1.95)/2 = 2.78% towards the Republican presidential candidates, then in SD-1 (which has a PVI of -24%) Obama would have averaged 24% below 50% for the two elections or 26%.  Am I understanding correctly?

Splitting counties as if they were evenly spread between the two parties won't work very well. They are often carved precisely to enhance the partisan leanings in one part over another. I have the full precinct data for the state in 2004 and 2008 except for 3 counties. I'll see if I can put together a more accurate set of PVIs for you pre-2012.

Thank you! But seriously, for 2008, I have drawn the districts myself (and used DKE just to be sure), so the biggest problem is for the 2012 results, where I didn't have the results for Illinois. So I have had to use NYT for the counties trend, and that isn't really accurate especially in Illinois. Fortunately, I managed to have most of the 2012 results. But Illinois was really a problem.

[windjammer]

So if you have the 2012 IL results, it would be great. The IL 2008 results,  I have them.
I was forced to do the 2012 IL results with the trend of the counties, and that's not accurate at all, especially in Illinois when the county where Chicago is has a lot of state senate districts!

[muon2]

This is the PVI going into 2012. It uses the precinct data separated into the census blocks from 04 and 08. I doubt 2012 would change them much since the parties separate very well based on the PVI. The two exceptions are the Blue Dogs in western and southern IL. I've added notations for VRA districts.

Thank you, Muon, so if I correctly understand, it was the PVI based on the 2004 and the 2008 results?

[muon2]

Thank you, Muon, so if I correctly understand, it was the PVI based on the 2004 and the 2008 results?

Yes, and they were matched at the block level to the new boundaries adopted in 2011. The St Clair county data was incomplete so there was some estimation there.

[windjammer]

Thank you Muon. I will replace the current Illinois PVI by your work. My PVI for Illinois was too inaccurate because I didn't have the 2012 results.

Well, this map has been drawn by the court because the “moderate” republicans and the “conservative” republicans couldn’t agree. 2012 will be remembered as the Great Purge for the KS GOP party. Compared with Brownback and the other crazy republicans, Stalin looks like a moderate willing to make compromise with the other ideologies of this party. The KS moderate republicans are definitely DEAD.
It will be difficult for the democrats to end the KS supermajority, but that’s a possibility if Davis wins (and that’s unlikely).

Wow comparing the other party to a man who murdered millions. That is a new level of hackishness. Good maps anyway.

I'm not a hack. It's time to understand humor. If I have compared Brownback with Stalin, it's because both of them have purged their party, I'm not saying Brownback is killing million people. He just loves RINO hunting.
I though it was understandable. No, I'm not believing Brownback is a mass murderer (LOL).
So no, I'm not a hack at all.

I understand humor. You just aren't remotely funny. You also criticize Republicans for being too "conservative", but yet when a Democrat reaches across the isle their a "ing bastard" and deserve to be defeated. I understand no one wants to admit that they are a hack, but you pretty much are.

Believe whatever you want. I will certainly not apologize for considering that Brownback is globally like Stalin for targeting other ideologies in his party, because that's true. I guess for being a libertarian, you definitely like him, but see this: http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2012/08/08/the_great_kansas_republican_purge_of_2012.html
And yes, in some states, republicans are too conservative and they could do much better if they were more moderate, the South Carolina Republican Party, and I fail to see where hackery is. I have said too that Republicans in some blue states were really competitive, like in Oregon, Nevada, Connecticut,... I have also critized the OH democrat party for being a mess and for failing to win some toss up/lean D state senate seat.

But seriously, you think whatever you want. I won't really give a flip anymore.

Huh?  The SCGOP at present controls all nine statewide offices, the General Assembly, and all but one member of the Congressional delegation.  While they aren't entirely dominated by wingnuts, they certainly are predominating and I fail to see how they could possibly do better than they are doing even if they did take a turn towards being moderate.
