Great work! That said, Oregon does have redistricting rules about not crossing the Cascades more than once, as well as road connections for all districts, and your 11th and 12th districts both break that rule.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about this Cascades issue.
I slightly changed the border between 11th, 12th and 13th, to make them more pleasant and try to correct the problem of the road connection. However, I believe that the map is not yet adequate with the information you gave me.
It looks a little better now. Generally, the rule in Oregon (in addition to road contiguity) is that the 18 eastern counties (everything east of Hood River, Wasco, Jefferson, Deschutes, and Klamath, including those counties) are a COI and can't be split - while that's not going to apply here, I think only one district can cross the 'border' between these 18 counties and the rest of Oregon. For your map, this would probably mean taking the 11th out of Klamath County.

I edited the map of Oregon once again, exchanging some precincts between the 11th, 12th and 13th districts. No change in numbers. I believe that the map is now more appropriate to the laws of the state?
I think so, yeah. Thanks for making those changes!
