2020 Census and Redistricting: Kentucky

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Here is a 5-1 GOP map with a one dem sink district that stretches from Louisville to Lexington.

Creative.

Has anyone tried their hand at drawing state legislative districts, especially in the House?  Since we are most likely going to see a Republican gerrymander (but in accordance with state constitutional requirements, naturally), I'd like to see what that looks like in that particular chamber.  

I have made such a map. Will be posting shortly.

33 seats on this map voted for Beshear in 2019.

Very nice!  Can we have a version broken down by partisan colors? 

Which baseline would you prefer I use?

The last presidential election. 

DRA doesn't have 2020 election data yet for Kentucky.
2016 election data, their most recent presidential election dataset, is also a fair bit boring. All but 25 districts are the deepest shade of red. All but two of them are in Lexington or Louisville; the other two border Hamilton County.
I can provide a closeup showing the only area in the state with these districts if you are so inclined.

I actually drew this with 2019 governor figures and it really shows.
Case in point:
The Lexington wraparound district was drawn to have as narrow a Beshear margin as was possible for an all-Lexington HD.
The district in far east Louisville was drawn to be a Bevin district.
Some of the quasi-weird lines in Eastern Kentucky are drawn that way to turn 1 strong Beshear district and 1 strong Bevin district into 2 more marginal Bevin districts.
This is what the map looks like with 2019 governor figures.

Looks more like a garden snail.

I can see it.
Not entirely sure what the best comparison is. A snake, maybe?
