Wow. Most of these are amazingly culturally reasonable.

Regarding the potentially competitive states:

1. Washington, Oregon and California all get smaller and more D
2. Nevada is now a 2-3 CD Likely R state pending the L.A. split.
3. Arizona is a very populous lean D state pending the L.A. split.
4. New Mexico: I think El Paso wins and it stays lean D?  The rural parts of Southern CO that it gains are ancestrally Hispanic and lean D, and the rural parts of AZ and UT are Native American areas, but there's ~1 CD worth of 75% Romney TX/OK territory in there.
5. Colorado gets more Democratic due to WY and UT unless it loses Pueblo to NM.  The addition from Western Kansas is < 1/2 of a CD.
6. Minnesota gets a bit more D and Iowa gets slightly more R and has only 1 CD?
7. Wisconsin is now ~60% D because of Chicago, but there is an eastern Iowa vote packing effect.
8. Illinois is probably only lean R because it gains downtown St. Louis.
9. Florida gets slightly more R and might gain a CD
10. Georgia loses ~5 CDs and none of Atlanta, but it gains ~2 CDs of more conservative territory than it lost.  Probably more competitive just because it's smaller.
11. Pretty sure Charlotte/Asheville/Savannah/Augusta make South Carolina a swing state.
12. NC and VA are lean D and probably >30% black
13. PA is now likely R, OH and MI should stay about the same
14. NY is drastically smaller and likely D
15. NH and ME: NH loses some very D northern territory, gains the 2nd most populous county in Maine but misses Portland and dips into an extremely liberal part of VT.  Unclear.

This Texas would get much more interesting than real Texas in 10-20 years.  And it would be weird to see DFW politicians take over the OK statewide offices.

Light colors mean that I'm unsure/it's close but it seems to lean in one direction
Purple (IA) looked so close that I couldn't make a call one way or another

Areas like NC I did personally assess via DRA to see what the actual numbers were



What do you have for Voronoi GA?  The new areas are less populous than what it loses but more R, so I can't tell if it shifts left or right.
