cmon man, stop gerrymanding. this is like your 5th horrible map

[Mr. Illini]

I love when Republicans say "more representation for the rest of the state" but really just mean Republican gerrymanders.

If you think California should have a GOP seat because there are some Republicans out in the rural counties, then I think Indiana should have a Dem seat, which should be doable if you hook up Indy with NW IN.

Also South Carolina,  since it's R+8 while California and Maryland are both D+12.   

Obvious Republican gerrymanders all around.

these maps are bad and you should feel bad

these maps are bad and you should feel bad

When a socialist says anything you should take it the opposite way.

“These maps are great and I should feel fantastic”

wow u so clever

East: R+8
West: R+8



NYC/Nassau: D+25
Upstate/Suffolk: D+1

This is due to keeping NYC whole. I coulda put Suffolk in the NYC district but it doesn’t make much sense to stick the Bronx with upstate

[Zaybay]

I mean, you could have just drawn a fair district that splits NYC, but that would give the Dems too much of a PVI advantage in the second district.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

The need to avoid discontiguity trumps keeping NYC whole.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

This is an alternative arrangement for NV:
Las Vegas: D+13
Rest of Nevada: R+7

This is not really a good plan but it does show that it's possible to do it worse...

[Lachi]

Oh come on, that NY map is blatantly illegal, you're not even trying.

I like your NV better than mine. I wasnt able to follow the town lines since I always turn them off to keep my computer from crashing. I just took a guess since I like to keep cities whole but the city/county lines in NV arent much help

[Strudelcutie4427]

Oh come on, that NY map is blatantly illegal, you're not even trying.

Technically it is contiguous via Long Island Sound. But if someone could make a map exchanging Suffolk and Bronx with the balance of the population going to the upstate district from the Queens/Bronx bridge east to include Kings Point and Oyster Bay, I'll accept that one. My computer at home cant handle NYC on DRA though

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

9,622,907 live on LI, Manhattan, and SI.
9,755,195 live in Upstate NY+Bronx.
there are 66,144 required to be moved from Bronx to the Downstate seat. These are just going to be a rounding error in regards to PVI calculations.

I'm just gonna use your description for this. With the changes, The LI/Staten/Manhattan District would be around D+18, and the Bronx/Upstate would be D+3. That should be good enough to limit the influence of the bronx on upstate, and the map would look way better.




The New NY map. There is a small piece of the Southern Bronx cut out to balance off the population, and these are >D+35. So the new PVIs would most likely be D+18 downstate and D+3 upstate

[Antonio the Sixth]

OK, for once I actually agreed with STGFF. NYC is a natural community of interest and should be kept whole whenever possible.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Contrast this with his CA and MD maps, which lump in together two completely different COIs just because they happen to both be Democratic.

[Strudelcutie4427]

And this is just about done, so here are the results so far.

Most Democrat: MD-Central D+30
Most Republican: Wyoming-North R+30
Most Polarized States: Maryland (34), Georgia (25), Delaware (22), California (20)
Least Polarized States: Texas (0), Idaho (0), Connecticut (1), Oklahoma (1), West Virginia (1)

Highly Competitive: ME North, NH West, NH Southeast, RI West, NY Upstate, NJ West, MD Outstate, NC East, FL South, IA East, AZ Phoenix, CA East

[Strudelcutie4427]

West (Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus): R+5
East (Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown): R+1



Northwest (Little Rock, Bentonville, Fort Smith): R+13
South/East: R+17



Delta, Lake Pontchatraine, NoLa: R+10
North, West, Baton Rouge: R+12

East/St. Louis: R+6

[Strudelcutie4427]

[Strudelcutie4427]

Urban Oahu: D+18
Rural Oahu/Other Islands: D+18



Seattle/NW: D+16
South/East/Olympic: R+4



PA froze right when i finished. But the SE district is most of York plus Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks, Lehigh, Northampton, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, and Philadelphia. The rest of the state is in the Western district

Southeast: D+8
West: R+9

[UncleSam]

Most of these are fine, but Maryland, NJ, NY, and CA are ridiculous gerrymanders. Many of these are pretty close to the maximally compact districts, though.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

This reminds me of this...
