Great thread. Unsurprising that Dems best is urban, and often majority-minority. Though the GOP dist is as urban or almost as urban, in NY, AK, HI, UT, and NH. Which Dem SD's are majority white--I'd guess VT, NH, ME, ID, WY, UT, IA, and AK. Interesting how the most GOP district is often exurban rather than rural, even if the overall lean of the rural areas is more GOP. (Ark. is a surprise with it being exurban Little Rock rather than NW Ark.)

Anyone have the link to the CD threads?

^I dug up the most R/D congressional threads:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=186234.0
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=186775.0

And most of the states that have white majority D areas are going to be states with very little minority areas anyway. ME, NH, VT, ID, WY, UT, probably IA (though not 100% sure). That Alaska district is majority native Alaskan though. Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, and Montana will probably have majority white D districts (MT and OR don't have election data, unfortunately) too.

To comment on Arkansas, I was surprised to see how Republican the northern end of Lonoke County is. Its consistently ~78% McCain. I didn't even try to pull one in the NW, but someone could try.

I checked Iowa and that Des Moines district was ~55% white. An Iowa City-Cedar Rapids district is almost as Democratic, but >80% white.
