Did some simple ones:

Delaware:

1st is an ultra Safe D seat. Nearly 70% Obama. The 2nd only narrowly went for Obama in 2008, and  was a Romney/Trump seat after that. Likely/Safe R.

Hawaii:


The 3rd district (Purple) contains all the non-Oahu islands as well as Oahu's north shore. The 1st (blue) contains all of Honolulu and it's immediate suburbs. The rest of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Kailua, is in the 2nd. The 1st and 3rd are over 70% Obama, while the 2nd is only 65% Obama.

Montana:


The western district went for Obama by a hair in 2008, and has been carried by Jon Tester, Steve Bullock, ect in their victories. Very competitive. The eastern district is much more Republican leaning.

North Dakota:


The eastern district went narrowly for Obama in 2008, but given the trends in the Dakotas both seats would probably be Safe R.

South Dakota:


The blue district is slightly to the left of the state as a whole, but not by much. Safe R for both.


I'll try to do a Washington one but it will almost certainly be an ugly map.

Oregon:



1 (Blue) - 57/40 McCain - Safe R
2 (Green) - 80/17 Obama - Safe D
3 (Purple) - 52/44 McCain - Safe R
4 (Red) - 62/35 Obama - Safe D
5 (Yellow) - 49/48 Obama - Likely R
6 (Cyan) - 54/43 Obama - Likely D (Heavy pro-Trump swing here)
7 (Grey) - 53/45 Obama - Lean D
8 (Black) - 68/29 Obama - Safe D


Alaska:


1 (Blue) - 60/37 McCain
2 (Green) - 59/38 McCain

Also, how can I make this program run more smoothly, seriously, I can't load anything bigger than South Carolina before it starts to crap itself.

Putting the map setting on "blank" and sliding the opacity slider all the way to the right kind of helps. Other than that, get a better computer.

Kansas:


Obama and Clinton both carried the Kansas City based district. It's not super safe D but I doubt any Republican wins it. The green and teal districts went narrowly for McCain, Dems might have won the recent special election in the Wichita seat. All other districts were over 60% Republican.

Nebraska:


The Omaha seat is Lean/Likely D. The Lincoln seat is 52/48 McCain, could fall in a wave. The red seat was over 60% McCain, and the purple seat over 70% McCain.

Nevada:



All four Vegas districts are over 55% Obama. The Reno district went 54/43 Obama in 2008, would probably be a competitive toss-up district. The green district is Safe R.

Idaho:


1 (Blue) - 61/36 McCain
2 (Green) - 54/43 McCain
3 (Purple) - 69/27 McCain

Also, publicunofficial, your image host appears to be broken.

Fix'd!
