If I could run DRA it'd be fun to do the NH Senate. The GOP packed the Dems into 6 districts in the state and it's been remarkably beneficial for them, they lost the popular vote in 2012 and came within a hair in 2016, but never lost a majority of seats since 2010.
It's arguably one of the most effective gerrymanders in the country, but not one that's talked about much.
The executive council map is just as bad.

Ive tried doing NH to get as close to a 12-12 tie as I can. Its hard on DRA because you cant split precints and some precincts like Merrimack have 25,000 people in it. haha. Heres the best i could do
