SingleTxGuyForFun redistricts the entire US

[Strudelcutie4427]

The final result on my redistricting every state. Seats based off PVI sort out as 278 R, 154 D, 3 even . Any seats that are LIGHT BLUE, PINK, OR GRAY (Such as the 2 NH seats and the Syracuse, NY seat) can be considered as not totally locked down for either party with a PVI of 4 or less. I made a map showing the strength of each party in intervals of 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, and 20+, and the other showing which party is likely to control it. (Unless a Roy Moore type runs) Feel free to comment and give me feed back. This project took well over 2 weeks and I can say that I will never have to use DRA for California ever again lol. This is essentially the best Republicans could do, given that there are only a few slight D seats (NH-2 RI-2, CT-2, CT-4, and IL-10)

Is this a GOP gerrymander?

Oh yeah. Big time. This was originally part of my maxed out GOP seats project, but i scaled it back a bit to provide minority districts and cleaner shapes to draw given I only have MS paint on my computer. I wasnt as aggressive as I could have been but I just wanted to see what the end result of a 50-state GOP gerrymander would look like

[Strudelcutie4427]

That Colorado map makes me physically ill and I'm confident that some of these districts, especially in TX, FL, and GA, violate the VRA, but this looks like a fun project, even if it is a fairly egregious gerrymander. I would do something similar (in favor of the Democrats, of course, given my general hackish nature) were it not for the fact that my computer has a hard time handling any state with over 20 electoral votes.

Dem gerrymadering is pretty hard to do if you want to get them on a map like I did because of all the thin bacon strips. I tried it once for a 6 seat Oregon and it didnt look too pretty. But it'd be cool to see just to see how wildly the seat count could swing in very obvious R vs D gerrymanders

[Strudelcutie4427]

Splitting up the KC seat is easy. Uber pack MO-01, Give MO-02 all of St. Charles to make it safe R, and the rest of the state goes McCain by about 9-10 points. Then produce 6 seats that went McCain by around that margin.
Don't be afraid to have a seat running from Arkansas to Kansas City.

I might try that one later along with a few other states like TX and try to get a R district in MA. I was thinking about it since there are 5 Super-Republican seats just laying around outside of KC. I think I tried the AR-KC one but got snagged around Joplin or some other city down there, but i think that was before the updated version with PVI came out

[Strudelcutie4427]

Oh man, do you think there's any chance they could be given 14 more seats to get a supermajority?

If I’m that close I might try it lol. I can probably squeeze 3 out of MA, 1 more out of CT, maybe 1 in each Illinois, Ohio and Nevada. Idk if it’s possibke unless I make it really ugly and do a bunch of R+1s

I have a .drf of a ME-02 that would have leaned Republican in 2008. Would you be interested in me emailing it to you?

Wow I didn’t know there could’ve been a R+ district in Maine that year lol. Yeah definitely send me it!! Thank you!!

[Strudelcutie4427]

Is there any way to slice up RI to create an R-leaning district?

Nah, but you can easily get a clean looking D+2 or an ugly D+1
