2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: West Virginia

[_.]

I tried my hand at a fair (?) 2-district map of West Virginia.

Image Link

The Population Deviation is 0.01%, and it reflects 2015 - 2019 ACS Data.

--/100 on Dave's Proportionality Index
--/100 on the Compactness Index
--/100 on County Splitting
0/100 on the Minority Representation index (lol)
--/100 on Dave's competitiveness index (lol)

Other indicators won't show up, you could probably guess them though lol

The map above shows results from the 2012/2016 Presidential Cook Partisan Voting Index.

Check it out here and see county and municipality boundaries.

Hang on. Jeez.

This Trump amendment, which appears to be the one adopted, did flip the districts over and make the 2nd the northern one. (As well as putting Pendleton in the south and Ritchie in the north)

It says "SB3033 SFA TRUMP _1 10-13 adopted.htm"

So I assume that means it's adopted. Huh.

Only possible reason I can think of for this is giving Mooney a tiny bit of legitimacy in his new district retaining the number of his old district.

I watched a little bit of the debate and the reason for the number flip, I kid you not, is they drew the southern district first and the software they used labeled it #1.
