Currently in process of adding 2008 presidential race numbers and 2017 PVIs for the constituencies.

[Kodak]

I really don't like the western NY districts either. You split the Buffalo suburbs between three districts,  divided the Southern tier between different districts, and drew Niagara so that it contains parts of two metro areas. Those borders don't really represent the communities of interest around here very well.

If that's the case, that's because I am trying very hard to avoid county splits, the size of the seats themselves (which are less than 75% of RL CDs, which forces more CoIs to be split), and because the Rochester seat itself is drawn using a natural border. Erie+Niagara is simply too big for 2 districts, so I had to create an obligatory Buffalo-centric seat, an Erie seat, a Rochester seat, and a district combining exurbs/suburbs from both metros.
The geography and population distribution is just too awkward to keep Buffalo suburbs within just two seats, maintain compactness overall, have a reasonable Rochester seat, AND have minimum county splits. I was also hemmed in by the districts drawn in the Hudson Valley, so I had less room than usual to use greater deviation as means to keep CoI together.

This proposal preserves CoI and compactness for the low cost of two more county splits.

I use counties as building blocks and it shudders me to have to split two more of them.

Only three counties get split, but Erie County gets split twice.
