So we can definitely kiss AZ-01 and AZ-02 goodbye with the inevitable Republican gerrymander. Dems will be confined to 2 seats in Phoenix and 1 in Tucson
At least 2 Dem seats i Phoenix are needed to avoid a dummmander. 3 is ideal. A 6R-4D map is pretty fair anyways.
What about when Democrats are winning a majority of the statewide vote (which seems inevitable at this point)?
It should still be pretty easy to draw two Dem sinks in Maricopa County with the remaining seats being pretty strongly Republican. Something like two 70%+ Sinema seats and the rest 55% McSally or better.
If it's so easy, please draw one that does that.
