US House Redistricting: Iowa

[Mr.Phips]

Also, here are some other plans the computer program made, but were rejected for compactness/pop div/other reases. All have 1 Biden seat to a considerable degree. Some have 2. GOP probably wanted something like some of these ideally.

They probably end up with something like the top middle.

IDK seems like it's likley to backfire in a bad-normal year it could easily be a 2-2 or 3-1.

If they are going to do that map, they might as well put Johnson county in the DesMoines district.

[Mr.Phips]

Yeah, I think they'll just go with this one. All four incumbents live in their districts, Hinson and Miller-Meeks should be generally favored barring a blue wave (which 2022 will not be) and they'll generally have a good shot at knocking off Axne.

IDK though if it's a republican midterm Democrats could easily regain a 3-1 delegation.

Or if Iowa became a swing state again in a Presidential year.  You have three districts voting to the left of the state in this map.
