GQP State Rep. Timothy Ramthun running for governor.  Mike Lindell plans to do a rally with him this weekend.  He’s not very good at this whole internet thing:



I just went to ramthunforgovernor.com and it's still broken.

This guy can't manage a website and he wants to manage the state of Wisconsin!

Please repost your best de-rigged WI leg maps.

Well, mine is probably far from the "best" in any parameter, but it underscores that bad geography is still an issue for WI Democrats -

This map - which I made without any intent of partisan gerrymandering, tried to keep districts reasonable/compact - ends up with 21 Trump districts and 12 Biden seats. Admittedly two of the Trump seats are very close, but nonetheless.

Thanks. Username checks out.
Was hoping to see truly de-rigged Senate maps that reflected the partisan lean of state.

Huh
The username is a misnomer atp since anyone who knows me can tell you I'm really pretty much a Democrat (as my avatar now indicates) more than anything else.

I can make a balanced map if need be, but I don't think that's the definition of "de-rigged." "De-rigged" really means drawing the districts with as little consideration of political data as possible. Maybe the outcome isn't proportional, but that's really the result of how the geography works out.

Say the word and I can draw up a 17-16, but don't be surprised if it looks quite horrendous.

The fact is inescapable that the political distribution of voters in WI is exceptionally good for the GOP; this is exactly the sort of map you get if you draw the districts as nonpartisan-lly as possible.

Apologies for my misunderstanding.
Yes the 17-16 WI State Senate maps (or even 16-17, in line with 2020) are what I hoped to see. Would you be able to produce this?

I suppose it isn't that bad:

17-16 Trump in 2016, 17-16 Biden in 2020
17-16 Evers in 2018, 17-16 Evers in 2022
20-13 Baldwin in 2018, 17-16 Barnes in 2022
