The Reverse Gerrymandering Project

Re: Utah, there's actually no requirement that reps live in the district they represent; McAdams didn't, Chaffetz didn't while he was in UT-03, Owens doesn't right now. Bishop actually retired this year and his replacement, Blake Moore⁠—you guessed it⁠— doesn't live in UT-01: He lives in SLC in the current UT-02, just south of the University of Utah (DRA labels the precinct as 2604).

I've been optimizing based on 2018 senate for Utah:

Both districts were around Romney+9, R+7 PVI, ~Clinton+4 in 2016, all representative-elects live in their district.

Pretty suboptimal Ohio map: my fair map is both more compact and a little friendlier to Democrats. Still need to update it to 2019 population estimates though.

Can I see it? Not sure how else you can squeeze another Dem oppurtunity seat in NE Ohio but I'm all ears.

I'll post it once I get home from work.

Hmm, I misremembered how blue my 9th was. My Columbus area is better and my 10th is a little better given trends but my northern Ohio probably costs Dems a seat compared to your map given your assumptions about how the midterms play out.
