If we count WA as "gerrymandered", is this an acceptable replacement?

Oregon 2 is only so Republican because they removed Bend from it. Its a clear R pack

Removing Bend made the seat perhaps 2-3% more Republican I guess?

That sounds more realistic.

I would not assume Fung wins. It's probably reasonable to demand no town splits, and it is hard to draw a no town split map where Fung does well enough to get a genuine swing district.

What does the state delegations map look like?



19D-26R-5T

I gave Dems one more district in Texas based on politicallefty's comments, and I assigned the two uncertain Dem seats to SC and NE rather than CO and VA for the sake of geographic diversity. Still, despite gaining 6 seats, Democrats actually fare much worse in terms of state delegations due to RI, NV and OR ending up tied.

Did you not read an explanation on Rhode Island? Try drawing a Providence based seat, the outer seat won't be much more R because it now has to take in high turnout Democratic coastal areas and it loses Cranston which is the area Fung improved the best .
It's possible to draw a district where Fung would be favored in 2022. But this isn't a non-partisan map, this is a Republican gerrymander.
EDIT: I checked OurCampaigns and R House candidates won here by about 5k votes in 2022 (so a margin of about 2.5%).
