Do you all still have the DRF files for this somewhere?

The Drfs in some cases are in fact not necessary. Note how I go with all full counties in many states.
However, which states do you wish to have the drfs for?

I had hoped to have as many as possible, ideally all, so to convert them to GIS shapefiles.

Did you get my reply PM? I don't 100% understand the message system here.

ME: 2 NH: 1
Seat changes from 2010:
+1 KY, MN, CO, IN, TN, AZ, WA, VA, GA, NY
+3 FL, CA
+4 TX
Deviation is +/- 5% in order to give more leeway to eliminate county chops. Apportionment is based off a simple formula: (2020 census population for a state divided by one million; the resulting number is rounded to the nearest integer that is larger than 0)

NE: 57 (+1)
S: 127 (+11)
MW: 70 (+2)
W: 79 (+6)
Total: 333 (+20)

I wanted to see what the 2010s set of maps would look like under 2020 results. I chose Arkansas as a prime example.
2010s I had:
AR-01: every county bordering Mississippi and every county bordering Louisiana; every county bordering these counties except for Poinsett, Craighead, and Little River; and Clark, Dallas, Cleveland, Jefferson, and Pulaski (973,891)
AR-02: everything that is not in AR-03 or AR-01 (976,048)
AR-03: Crawford, Independence, Benton, Poinsett, everything north of Cleburne County (965,891)

These districts in 2020 have populations of 998,503; 927,778; and 1,085,243 respectively. AR-01 voted for Biden by 1.1 points (49.1-48.0), and Trump won AR-03 66.0-31.2 and AR-02 71.4-25.9.

One can equalize the populations (roughly) by transferring Lonoke County into AR-01 and Crawford and Jackson into AR-02.
That would render the populations as the following:
AR-01 1,001,376
AR-02 1,001,793
AR-03 1,008,355

Oregon, 2010s (2010 population/2020 population)
OR-01: Multnomah, Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook, Yamhill (945,796/1,044,201)
OR-02: Washington, Clackamas, Hood River (928,419/1,045,750)
OR-03: Marion, Polk, Lincoln, Benton, Linn, Lane (990,148/1,090,513)
OR-04: everything else (966,121/1,056,792)

Unlike in Arkansas, population growth is evenly spread out. In fact, deviation seems to decline from 2010 to 2020 (considering how the space between 1, 2, and 4 shrinks).

While everything is within deviation, Hood River County can now be moved into OR-04. That would change the population of OR-02 to 1,021,773 and OR-04 to 1,080,769.

It's unfortunate that the state doesn't yet have 5 seats. I will make a 5 seat map now to see what would be possible if that was reached.

How does Nebraska get 5 seats?

Oh. Thanks for discovering a transcribing error.
I had ME and NE in a separate bucket. Since NH is next to ME, I ended up changing NE to NH. Which in turn lead me to accidently placing "NE" and "ME" and the "ME" to "NH".
NE only has 2 seats, and Maine only 1. For now.
