Illinois and Maryland, too. Hopefully gerrymandering is ended by 2030 nationwide, but for this round, there's no point in voluntarily disarming.
Virginia would be another easy one to gerrymander too. Not sure how this commission will play out but my understanding is that the courts could have the final say and I believe Dems are packing the courts here so theoretically it's possible they could gerrymander the state and they really should.
The VA supreme court is currently R majority-appointed (6 R vs 1 D) and that number is unlikely to change at all. Luckily for the Democrats, the VA Supreme Court is known for being rather non-partisan, so even though it has a conservative bent, the map will likely be rather even and fair.
Unfortunately, NY, MD, and IL are really the only states Dems have mapping control over that could cause a seat-change (with NY having an asterisk due to the commission), and even then there aren't that many seats to pry from the GOP here.
