Green-D+4.34, -558

1. R+7 (connected via bridge. I wanted to make a Chesapeake-centric district. Calvert and St Marys have more in common with the Eastern Shore than they do Charles/PG)
2. R+8
3. D+32 (52% Black, 38% White)
4. D+32 (38% White, 27% Black, 24% Hispanic)
5. D+35 (69% Black)
6. R+12
7. D+11
8. D+18

I know I cannot vote on the maps, but I can say personally is a horrible map. You are deliberately gerrymandering if you are not putting Cecil as well as Hereford in a district together. saint Mary's and Talbot are two worlds apart, too.

Cecil and Harford are together along with Eastern Baltimore. And St. Mary’s probably has more in common with Talbot than Prince George’s

I am saying that is a bad representation. Cecil in particular(any MDer can confirm) but Hereford fits better with the shore too tbh.

Posting this map to counteract Singletxguyforfuns map.

Yours wouldn’t work. No bridge connects the 2 cross bay ones. Mine has a bridge connecting both parts

still somehow better than yours lol

the md vote?

[Bidenworth2020]

Veteran poster Lewis Trondheim came up with this plan in July, 2011! I still think it's one of the best I've seen with whole counties. Since Lewis no longer posts here, I'm going to submit it for him. There are no chopped counties. No UCCs are chopped either, even though we hadn't defined those until 2013.



CD 1: (+277)
CD 2: (+2)
CD 3: (-280)

That purple district looks very ugly.

Look at Muon2's road network map of WV. One of those counties on the Virginia line does not have road connections to the county to the west, so that gets the erosity score down. The long narrow shape can be "defended" based on geographic barriers up to a point. That aside, in the Muon2 scoring system, having long shaped districts along a state border is not punished the way it would be if that shape were in the middle of the state (which would generate a lot of road cuts).

I'd argue the fact that that is such a horrible group of interest (suburbanite types, S WV miners), it should be overrided

when the hell is the MD vote?

[Bidenworth2020]
