[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Your Massachusetts Districts split Counties way more than justified.

Also, I still do not understand why not to go with this New Hampshire Map:

Massachusetts counties really dont matter since new england towns operate as their own counties for the most part. I did keep the towns whole though except for Boston which is too big to fit inside one district. Like ask anybody from Massachusetts which county they're from and half probably wouldnt know lol. And for NH i just kept the more Boston-centric areas near major highways together in the 1st and gave the rural West and North its own just for the sake of the interests on Manchester/Nashua/Derry are probably closer to eachother than either of them would be with Claremont/Berlin/Keene

NM-01: Most of Northern and Northeastern New Mexico - Plurality white, with rainbow coalition of Hispanics and Native Americans. D+6, Obama got 60% here so Safe D.

NM-02: Suburbs and Exburbs of Albuquerque + rural Eastern New Mexico. D+3, Obama got 57% here. Likely D,  but could flip in a R wave.

NM-03: Inner Albuquerque. D+9, Obama got 60% in 2008 but this likely has trended D since then. Safe D.

NM-04: Southern New Mexico, and the mandated HVAP seat. Yet, likely since rural Hispanics are a bit more GOP friendly than the D counterparts, evident here, in West Texas, and in Central California, plus many are here illegally, and many can vote, but are young enough where they aren't reliable voters, this is R+7. McCain won this by 4 in 2008. Likely R, only since this could be competitive if Hispanics start voting.

Did a rough draft of Oregon. Thoughts?



1. D+10
2. R+10
3. D+33
4. R+12
5. R+2
6. D+6
7. D+2

NV-01: Reno, rural Washoe County, plus Carson City and Tahoe Area. Obama easily carried this but Obama's numbers aren't likely to be repeated again statewide as Nevada was devastated by the Great Recession. Still, this is only a R+3 seat, but probably open to the right kind of Democrat. Lean R.

NV-02: Rural areas, and I knew I needed to add suburb of some kind. Added Henderson based on population counts. R+13 largely since rurals outvote Henderson, which leans R at best, and despite being a wealthy suburb, Clinton really didn't do much better here for reasons I can go into for another thread. Safe R.

NV-03: Spring Valley + Paradise + Enterprise. D+7 largely due to the casinos, and Obama hit 59% here, although Trump made gains here. Safe D.

NV-04: Sumerlin, and parts of Las Vegas proper. D+3, with Las Vegas outvoter Summerlin. D wins this most years, but could fall in a wave so Lean D.

NV-05: Hispanic HVAP district, with eastern areas of Las Vegas proper combined with the entire North Las Vegas. D+19, Safe D no questions asked.
