tbf, in those cases I had internet problems (might be misreading your statement). Mobile data was getting slow and there was lots of images to look at in order to make judgement etc. This made it hard for me to properly do my job as a panelist.
That problem is no longer current.

I'm saying you still haven't ranked a lot of the previous states, so those would probably be the first priority rather than the most recent ones. I mean, time isn't tight, so you don't have to vote right now, but I'd suggest getting to them soon or else they'll stack up and there'll be a massive pile of states to deal with (which might cause one to go through it all hastily and make rushed judgments)

This is the first of a series of alternatives for the division of Baltimore City and Baltimore County that utilize Election Districts in Baltimore County. The Election Districts have been fixed since at least 1950, when the Census Bureau reported them as minor civil divisions.

Since the choice of which side of Baltimore is to be augmented is somewhat arbitrary, I chose Election Districts that were quite close to the necessary population to added to Baltimore city.



Alternative 1.



This adds Election Districts 12 and 14 to Baltimore city, one precinct is trimmed from Election District 14.

MD-2 Baltimore County -0.24%, D+8.89, A 64, B 25, As 5, H 4, O 1

MD-3 Baltimore City -0.14, D+32.09, B 54, A 37, H 4, As 3, O 1

MD-2 is about 3% more Democratic, MD-3 about 3% less.



Alternative 2



This adds Election Districts 3 and 14 to Baltimore city, one precinct is trimmed from Election District 3.

MD-2 Baltimore County -0.10%, D+7.40, A 65, B 24, As 5, H 4, O 1

MD-3 Baltimore City -0.28, D+33.26, B 55, A 36, H 4, As 3, O 1

MD-2 is about 1.5% more Democratic, MD-3 about 1.5% less.



Alternative 3



This adds Election District 9 to Baltimore city, one precinct is trimmed from Election District 9 for population balance, and contiguity for the Baltimore County district (Election District 9 touches Election District 8, which is in MD-1 , at a point.

MD-2 Baltimore County -0.05%, D+7.73, A 64, B 25, As 5, H 4, O 1

MD-3 Baltimore City -0.33, D+32.96, B 54, A 37, H 4, As 3, O 1

MD-2 is about 1.5% more Democratic, MD-3 about 1.5% less.



Alternative 4



This adds Election District 2 to Baltimore city. As this cuts off the southwestern part of MD-3, the southernmost precinct in Baltimore City 25-016 is added to MD-3 (not shown on map, but reflected in statistics). This includes the southwestern part of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and the only part of I-695 that is in the city. A precinct in Baltimore County Election 3 is added to MD-2 to compensate population.

MD-2 Baltimore County -0.21%, D+4.02, A 72, B 17, As 5, H 4, O 1

MD-3 Baltimore City -0.17, D+37.63, B 62, A 29, H 4, As 3, O 2

MD-2 is about 2% less Democratic, MD-3 about 2.5% more. Election District 12 is 76% black.

okie, you should also probably include PVI data cuz some panelists will outright throw out maps that have none

Thanks. I added the PVI's in mu post above, adding the other map which you put up farther above. In this state, with but two basic designs that matter when it comes to PVI, the partisan split of the spoils is kind of obvious, but no problem.

EASTERN SHORE EXPLANATION
- before the 2000s, the eastern shore was always with the western side of the Chesapeake.
- there's a ferry between Reedsville (Northumberland) and Tangier Island (Accomack)
- Virginia having the eastern shore is a geographical oddity in itself...I didn't want to link it with Virginia Beach/Chesapeake because the eastern shore isn't part of the urban Hampton Roads area

Yes, Muon2 and Jimrtex had a most extensive OCD discussion about it. Smiley I don't think the ferry runs in the winter as I recall. I joined in the OCD festivities about nick cuts of connecting roads (and their type, pavement, dirt or state highways), that probably involved about 15 posts between us. There was some even more esoteric discussion about state highways that did not directly lead from one county seat to the next. It was all so much fun. But the idea of nick cuts being removed by chops with no people in them, is a new iteration. I think I kind of threw Muon2 for a loop there. Tongue

Republicans may have the slight edge in a neutral environment, but they could easily drop to 4 seats
1: R+12
2: R+1

Eastern Lynchburg has a high black population similar to CD-4/southern Virginia, so I was dividing those two counties west-east. Is that a no-no for you

Here's my analysis for the MD maps.

Here's recap of the muon2 metrics, with their application to MD. Low scores are better.

SKEW measures the lean of the delegation compared to the statewide expectation based on PVI. CDs with a PVI of 0 or 1 (tossup) don't count. For MD the expected skew is 4 for the Dems. A plan with 6 D and 2 R will score a SKEW of 0 (6-2=4).

POLARIZATION measure how well the CDs will respond to changes in the electorate. Competitive seats with PVI of 2 to 5 count 1 and uncompetitive seats of 6 or more count 2.

INEQUALITY is a relative measure of the population range using the muon rules table.

CHOP sums the number of chops of counties, towns, and urban clusters. The UCC are from jimrtex's table. Macrochopped counties are those where the population after the largest fragment is removed is greater than 5% of the quota, and chops of subunits would then be considered. Since there are no agreed county subunits, each additional fragment over 5% adds 1 point to the chop score.

EROSITY measures the irregularity of district borders in terms of the number of broken connections between counties and subunits within counties. Since county subunits are not defined, a macrochop gets an additional 2 points for each border between fragments.

Solid - Do you have a version of your map that shows county lines. I can't score it for chops and erosity as is.

Under the I+C vs E Pareto test the following plans would survive:
ASV (17, 30) and Torie-B (22, 29)

My county splits:

Harford, Howard, Frederick, and Baltimore City are all split once.
Baltimore County, and Montgomery are both split twice.
Prince Georges is split thrice.

Harford: District 4 and 5
Howard: District 5 and 6
Frederick: District 7 and 8
Baltimore City: District 3 and 4
Baltimore County: District 3, 4, and 5
Montgomery: District 6, 7, and 8
Prince Georges: District 1, 2, 6, and 8

7 Counties are whole in District 1
1 County is whole in District 2
4 Counties are whole in District 3
1 County is whole in District 4
1 County is whole in District 6
3 Counties are whole in District 7

edit: scores added. I'm sure you are not surprised that it gets totally killed by the muon rules.

New Jersey Non-Partisan plan.

I know that we are well past New Jersey but I thought that I should share this beauty. Of course, like all the other NJ plans it doesn't comply with the VRA but ignoring that, in addition to the mathematically required county splits (Bergen, Middlesex, Essex) only three counties are split, Morris, Burlington and Gloucester. And despite all that my plan still only splits two Townships, Old Bridge and Woodbridge in Middlesex. And despite not fully complying with the VRA (no majority Hispanic and Black districts) the Essex and Hudson districts are still plurality Black and Hispanic respectively.

District 1 D+12.13 - 64.1 - 34.8
District 2 D+00.86 - 54.7 - 44.1
District 3 D+13.75 - 64.3 - 34.6
District 4 R+11.79 - 42.6 - 56.1
District 5 R+08.75 - 43.4 - 55.4
District 6 R+04.35 - 48.2 - 50.7
District 7 D+17.66 - 65.1 - 34.0 - 43.9 White
District 8 D+22.71 - 69.7 - 29.4 - 39.8 Hispanic
District 9 D+06.31 - 55.9 - 43.3
District 10 D+26.66 - 75.5 - 24.0 - 40.3 African American
District 11 D+04.94 - 54.6 - 44.6
District 12 D+08.36 - 57.5 - 41.4

Most certainly, however i should stress that the point of the exercise was to attain the minimum number of split counties as possible, and as such it quickly became clear that Ocean and Monmouth should have their own district so neither would be split. And also, just to justify it to myself, is it really any worse than the current NJ-3, which stretches from the Jersey Shore to the Delaware River.

Philly suburbs and Jersey Shore are two different worlds. Going into Monmouth makes way more sense
Most certainly, however i should stress that the point of the exercise was to attain the minimum number of split counties as possible, and as such it quickly became clear that Ocean and Monmouth should have their own district so neither would be split. And also, just to justify it to myself, is it really any worse than the current NJ-3, which stretches from the Jersey Shore to the Delaware River.
But why do counties matter? Especially in a state with 9,000,000 people in just 21 counties. And I'm not sure making a comparison to the current gross gerrymander is a sound justification

New Jersey Non-Partisan plan.

I know that we are well past New Jersey but I thought that I should share this beauty. Of course, like all the other NJ plans it doesn't comply with the VRA but ignoring that, in addition to the mathematically required county splits (Bergen, Middlesex, Essex) only three counties are split, Morris, Burlington and Gloucester. And despite all that my plan still only splits two Townships, Old Bridge and Woodbridge in Middlesex. And despite not fully complying with the VRA (no majority Hispanic and Black districts) the Essex and Hudson districts are still plurality Black and Hispanic respectively.

District 1 D+12.13 - 64.1 - 34.8
District 2 D+00.86 - 54.7 - 44.1
District 3 D+13.75 - 64.3 - 34.6
District 4 R+11.79 - 42.6 - 56.1
District 5 R+08.75 - 43.4 - 55.4
District 6 R+04.35 - 48.2 - 50.7
District 7 D+17.66 - 65.1 - 34.0 - 43.9 White
District 8 D+22.71 - 69.7 - 29.4 - 39.8 Hispanic
District 9 D+06.31 - 55.9 - 43.3
District 10 D+26.66 - 75.5 - 24.0 - 40.3 African American
District 11 D+04.94 - 54.6 - 44.6
District 12 D+08.36 - 57.5 - 41.4

I don't know why, or even if counties matter. I just enjoy proving what is and is not possible. And yes, comparing it to the current map/gerrymander is a terrible excuse. The fact is, most current congressional districts aren't drawn with communities of interest in mind. They're drawn with partisan intent in mind. In my opinion drawing districts with counties in mind certainly won't result in the most cohesive districts possible. But it would result in districts better than we have now.

My muon2A plan was drawn in 2014 before the court decision to redraw the CDs, and it follows the VRA. Division was first into compact regions, then adjustments were made to create a BVAP majority CD. All CDs are within 1000 (in parentheses) of the quota and the only chops are in NoVa and for the VRA. PVIs are based only on 2008 (update complete)



VA-01 (-17) R+0 D+1.3
VA-02 (-135) R+4 R+3.2
VA-03 (-105) D+15 D+17; BVAP 50.6%
VA-04 (+478) R+6 R+3.7
VA-05 (+451) R+9 R+11
VA-06 (-473) R+10 R+8.5
VA-07 (-664) D+3 D+5.3; BVAP 29.2%
VA-08 (-586) D+15 D+22
VA-09 (+427) R+13 R+20
VA-10 (+846) R+5 R+3.8
VA-11 (-224) D+6 D+11


My muon2B plan was drawn in late 2015 and has no VRA requirement. Chops are minimized and are only in NoVa, while keeping erosity down. UCC cover rules are followed and UCC chops are only violated for Richmond and the required violation for Norfolk to include the eastern shore. The maximum deviation is 2806.

The partisan division in 2010 was 2D, 3d, 1e, 1r, 4R and had a SKEW of 0. I've updated this one below and the partisan division is now 3D, 3d, 1r, 4R, and now has a SKEW of 1 towards the Dems.
