How many Obama LDs can be drawn in Wyoming? It has 30.

From what I can tell only 3: One in Cheyenne (barely), one in Laramie and one in Teton County.

Delaware has been around for awhile.

The rest interest me in seeing how many Obama LDs can be drawn.

Can a McCain seat be drawn in Massachusetts?

Utah actually has a possible function: Finding the most Obama congressional district that can be drawn.

So it looks like if you draw a "natural" district in Salt Lake County from the top down south it ends up about 55% Obama. You could drawn into Park City to boost it, but that's not very big. 55% is pretty impressive for Utah though.

Oh definitely. The Democratic district would also be the most compact and community of interest based one easily.

Four district non-partisanly drawn Utah actually divides pretty nicely, you get one district for the whole northern part of the state north of SLC, one for the SLC area which is basically the northern half of Salt Lake County, one for the southern part of Salt Lake County and Provo/Orem area, and then one giant district for the rest of the state. Too bad it's not happening.

Is a McCain district possible?

So anyone else having trouble opening it now? It'll open for me but not load any states. I reinstalled Silverlight including downgrading to the suggested version, have tried different browsers and a new computer user.

Also emailed Dave about it. But any other suggestions?
