Okay, I redrew it with some amendations: Dudleyville area (split between Gila and Pinal Counties) united in the rural district; Santa Cruz unsplit (given to Grijalva); Mojave instead of Yavapai split (I don't think this has much of a partisan effect. Kingman is in the rural district, Bullhead and Havasu are in the west Maricopa district); Phoenix Hispanic district much as at current rather than with that eastern tentacle; Mesa unsplit except for the eastern end - muon's map seems to be doing seriously weird things there. Created a very compact-looking Mesa (-eastern edge)/Gilbert (-eastern edge)/Chandler (-western edge) district as a result.
Glendale is three way split in this map, which is unfortunate. Just as in Muon's map, Yuma is not split - splitting Pima three ways makes it easily avoidable.
Imagine about 1000 voters from the Brooks Farm precinct split off the Pinal district and put in with Mesa/Gilbert/Chandler.
Dewar 55.1% McCain
Giffords 50.2% McCain
Grijalva 58.1% Obama, 56.8% Hispanic VAP (note I don't have Gila River in there)
Schweikert 52.6% McCain
Pastor 65.3% Obama, 58.4% Hispanic VAP
Republican districts (West to East) 60.6, 58.3, 58.6, 59.9% McCain. I
think Franks is in the second of those and Quayle is paired with Schweikert, not sure though.
And then I redrew the yellow/teal split in Phoenix to be more favorable for Dems.
59.1 v 51.5 McCain. And quite certain now that Quayle as well as Schweikert is in the marginal district.
And we're on territory where I would be ready to accept a deal despite losing the battle on the rural district.
