100 Senate Seats by population

[Miles]

I think this is a pretty fair breakdown of NC:



Obama/McCain:

CD1 - 48.5/50.7
CD2 - 54.0/45.0
CD3 - 46.1/52.8

DEM/REP:

CD1 - 51.5/48.5
CD2 - 52.3/47.7
CD3 - 45.2/54.8

I can see the Republican nominee carry CD1, but Cooper carrying it in the Governor's race.

Hagan could run in CD2. Burr lives in CD2 (Winston-Salem), but he's represented a good chunk of CD3 in the House. Actually, Cooper lives in CD1 and would be the type of Democrat it would elect, though its still swingy in general.

For VA, I did NOVA + Shenandoah valley and Richmond + the south.



Obama/McCain:

CD1 - 54.0/45.2
CD2 - 51.5/47.6

DEM/REP

CD1 - 49.9/50.1
CD2 - 48.4/51.6

I suspect Warner would have 1 and Kaine would have 2.

It would still have 2 districts, but district 2 would probably get more of Carroll, Prince George's, and Charles County, while DC would go to 1 under my scenario.

My stab at it. You're basically adding about 605K people to CD1. Thus, CD2 will have that many more people in a map without DC (the difference of the deviations).



With DC, CD1 is 75.1/23.9 Obama while CD2 is 55.0/43.6.

Was there anything wrong with my Virginia map?

Not saying your's is wrong, but earlier in the thread, I posted a similar map but didn't split and counties.
