District maps for the Supreme Court if it were hypothetically elected

[Skill and Chance]

Rather than shifting things more liberal or conservative, electing SCOTUS would make federal law much more populist as Justices would be worrying about their reelection.  For almost all of US history, SCOTUS has been more economically conservative and more socially open-minded than the median voter of the era.  This would shift that dramatically.  On the one hand, Lochner and Pollock (income tax law unconstitutional) almost certainly never happen.  On the other hand, the Warren Court civil rights decisions could be heavily watered down and some may even go the other way.  If Brown v. Board and Loving v. Virginia had been 5/4 or 6/3 decisions instead of unanimous and SCOTUS was less aggressive in enforcing the VRA early on, certain ignorant people might have held onto power a lot longer in the South.

Another interesting possibility if SCOTUS is elected is that the justices from the rural-dominated districts would likely support women's suffrage circa 1900.  If the districting/apportionment system for SCOTUS elections overrepresents rural areas (as districts at all levels of government did back then), a landmark 14th Amendment ruling for federal women's suffrage seems plausible well prior to 1920.

It could look something like this today. California would have to be split slightly. I apportioned with overall population, and not congressional districts in mind. I repeated colors but never had multiple district that neighbor eachother using the same color. Maximum deviation is slightly above 2%.

It looks like the swing seat is the NJ-OH one, but how competitive are the NW and DC area seats?  I think the NW one leans left and the DC one clearly leans right?
