Just Made a Oregon map with the new district

I was focusing on lowering the amount of county splits in the end I only had 3 though it's actually a pretty competitive map 1 Safe R 1 Likely R 2 Safe D 1 Likely D and 1 Tossup District.

1) The Portland split does not follow obvious COI boundaries

2) Idk which bothers me more- Linn County being lumped in with east of the Cascades, or the way Eugene + Eastern Lane County is connected to the Mid-Willamette Valley through a narrow strip

Whats COI boundaries?
I mean I admit it's not that pretty of a map lol I was just trying to make one with as few counties splits as possible lol

Not sure- I think it means community of interest?

I don’t blame you for trying- county splits are going to be inevitable. But there should be a better way to lump Eugene together with Corvallis without that gerrymandered look.

True True your definitely right my map doesn't look pretty at all haha I would be shocked if the actual map looked like mine

Yeah, Plan B is trash, make a better compromised map or just go with A.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. I think a compromise of the 2 would be a fair map actually lol. A is a D-leaning Gerrymander and B is an R Gerrymander. A fair compromise would be 3 safe D district 1 likely d district 1 tossup (a Trump-Biden district if possible) and 1 safe R district.
