Detailed NY congressional map (as accepted by court) here: davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap::…
This is my favorite way of telling if someone else's fair map of NY is good or not. It's a really important community of interest but almost every big Election Twitter account gets it wrong
NY-20: Keep the Capitol Region congressional district whole, including Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, and Amsterdam. The Special Master's map splits the last 2 out of the district. This comment makes up, like, 70% of all comments submitted!
My proposed democratic gerrymander of Oregon, is family similar to the map that was signed into law. The main difference is that district 5 is much bluer, thanks to more of the Portland area being in district. #ElectionTwitter
This map is what an aggressive Republican gerrymander of Oregon looks like. Republicans came make a serious play for 4 of the congressional districts and are favored to win half of them. #ElectionTwitter
Here's a fair map of Washington. I wish the commission adapted this map as it is a lot cleaner and serves communities of interest better than the adapted map. It has 3 Trump districts and 2 competetive districts. #ElectionTwitter
Washington Democrats could make a play for all but 1 seat if they controlled redistricting. District 5 would have only voted for Trump by less than 2 points. Other than district 4, all the other districts would have voted for Biden by 10+ points. #ElectionTwitter
If Washington Republicans controlled the redistricting process, they still would only be able to gain 1 seat. The map below changes district 3 from a Trump+3.5 district to a Trump+6 district and flips district 8 to become a Trump +11 seat. #ElectionTwitter
Here's my attempt at a fair map of Montana. Biden lost district 1 by 5 points but in the same year Bullock one district 1 by just over one point while running for senate. #ElectionTwitter
Below is a purely hypothetical democratic gerrymander of Montana. It connects all of the major cities in Montana expect for Great Falls. Biden won it by a point and another democrat like Steve Bullock shouldn't have trouble winning it in a neutral year. #ElectionTwitter
Here is a map of Montana that would serve as a Republican gerrymander. Both districts match the partisanship of the state as a whole and would be very challenging for Democrats to win. #ElectionTwitter
Had Colorado voters not passed a redistricting ballot question in 2018, democrats could have proposed this 7-1 gerrymander. All dem districts voted for Biden in 2020 by more than 10 points are trending left. However, district 5 was not won by Clinton in 2016. #ElectionTwitter
In a very different timeline, Republicans could draw this gerrymander of Colorado. It would give them 4 Trump +10 seats in 2020. However, Colorado is moving left rapidly and the map is at risk of becoming a dummymander. #ElectionTwitter
Here is a more traditional fair Utah map. District 4 is a safe Democratic seat and the rest of the seats are safe Republican. District 2 remains a rural district but it takes on part of Utah County to allow district 1 to take on all of north Utah. #ElectionTwitter
It's a bit unconventional but this Utah map would keep all of the counties outside of Utah to Webber into district 2. I would probably prefer a version that keeps Weber, Cache and Rich Counties together though. #ElectionTwitter
If democrats controlled redistricting in Utah they might draw this map. Biden wins district 4 and only narrowly loses district 1 by 2.1 points. The map doesn't hold up that well in other elections though, democrats lost both districts in the 2020 governor race. #ElectionTwitter
Below is a Republican gerrymander of Utah. Each incumbent gets at least 75% of their old district in the borders. All districts voted for Trump in 2020 more than 20 points by splitting up the Salt Lake City area. #ElectionTwitter
