This is kind of a dumb question, but I’m curious. It sounds like you guys are saying Iowa prohibits splitting counties. What happens when you have to? Like, let’s say for a second Polk county’s population goes to 890,000 next decade. You are going to have to split that. What then?
Iowa splits counties for their state legislature districts. I imagine they'll just start splitting Polk when it gets to that point on the congressional level.

How is this map? All of the incumbents have separate districts and are likely safe for the remainder of the decade.

President 2016/2020
IA-01 (Axne): D +10.3
IA-02 (Miller-Meeks): R +13.3
IA-03 (Feenstra): R +20.9
IA-04 (Hinson): R +12.0
This would not be acceptable as Iowa requires districts to be reasonably compact, in regards to district length/width and the size of their boundaries/perimeter.

Maps were shown physically today just a few minutes ago. The Legislature's website should have them up soon.

Here is the proposed Congressional map in DRA, shaded with 2020 Pres. numbers. The first two districts (the east ones) are about 19,500 people off from the ideal population.



IA-01: Biden +7.8
IA-02: Trump + 10.4
IA-03: Biden +0.2
IA-04: Trump +31.5

I don't see this map surviving.

Updated map. Jackson actually goes into IA-02. IA-02 is now Trump +10.8. IA-01 is now Biden +8.6. That would explain why the first version I posted had some really off population numbers.

Nevermind, they are now in recess until noon. The Senate State Government Committee advanced the plan unanimously without recommendation to the full senate.

Maps are voted down 18-32 in the Senate. Party line vote as far as I can tell. They now have until December to draw new maps.

Iowa LSA has announced the second proposal will be released by October 21, which is relatively quick
Not by, but on the 21st:
