What does this mean?  Percentages of the delegation?  Of the vote?

I assume the latter, considering that one-seat states like the Dakotas would otherwise automatically be the darkest shade.

New York has a lot of third parties that run the major candidates, that's why the Dem percentage is so low there.

So if this is by percent of the vote, in 2002 the republicans won 9 seats democrats 6, but the dems won more votes if you add it all up, if thats right it's so nice gerrymandering.

Not necessarily. Solid seats do not always equate to gerrymandering.

It was a partisan gerrymander though. Not ugly looking on the map, interestingly. They seem to have looked NWwards to Saskatchewan when they drew that map.

Ironically, in NM it was the Democrats who tried to rip Albuquerque in three and attach rural chunks to them for purposes of Gerrymandering a la Saskatchewan.

What's so ironical? It's a right-wing party.

Having an opebo moment, are we?

But under your logic the Reps are even more right-wing, so the irony returns!

Both are sufficiently right-wing to engage in this sort of behaviour rather than revolutionarily vote in P.R. for their state legislature and darn the consequences.
Can we settle on that?

But the Democrats are further left than the Republicans, so it's still ironic! Yea, okay.
