South Shore of Massachusetts

[Figueira]

I don't know that much about this area, but those inland towns aren't as wealthy as the coastal ones. If you look at an income map of the state, it matches up with the trend map in the South Shore.

Not to mention, it's virtually impossible to draw a Republican district in MA anyway, since the Republican voters are fairly spread out throughout the state. I mean, maybe you could make MA-09 a Tilt D rather than Lean D district, but that's about it.

It's possible. Just really ugly. I've drawn a map with 2 with one snaking from Chester around Springfield and up to dracut and another one from Braintree down around Brockton then running through Foxboro out to around Douglas. Like I said ugly as hell. Would post it but idk how to 😂

I guess. But no Democrat has any incentive to agree to that.

You never know. If there's one they don't like they can give him an unfavorable district. McGovern over in Worcester seems like a real douchenozzle

McGovern is one of the best people in Congress.

They could put the metrowest into 1 district rather than blast it into smithereens.

Still wouldn't help the Republicans much. The reason the current map looks so weird is so that the incumbent Democrats won't lose their primaries.

Also if hypothetically Democrats in the legislature wanted to get rid of McGovern, they could just divide Worcester between two Boston districts, and leave it at that. No need to give the Republicans something.

how do i post DRA maps on here? I actually drew a pretty good looking Massachusetts map

1) Hit print screen button
2) Either:

• open MSPaint, paste it in there and crop it; go to http://snag.gy and hit CTRL+V to paste/upload
• or go to http://snag.gy and hit CTRL+V to paste/upload whole screengrab

Thank you!! I'm just horrible with figuring that out and have been trying to figure it out for years lol. But here's the map of Massachusetts I made, I tried making as many competitive-ish districts as i could while not gerrymandering
MA-1: D+17
MA-2: D+3
MA-3: D+4
MA-4: D+3
MA-5: D+21
MA-6: D+8
MA-7: D+23
MA-8: D+1
MA-9: D+7

I like the boundary between the first and second districts here. I'm less sure about the eastern districts.
