What would it look like if state boundaries were gerrymandered to lock in advantages for both the electoral college and the senate?

I just drew a Republican gerrymander in which Trump wins with 350 EV despite there being the same NPV as 2020
Here it is

In 2020, Philadelphia, PA -> NJ, Chatham, GA (Savannah) -> SC, and Coconino, AZ (Grand Canyon area) -> UT elects Trump. 

I recall that Florida Panhandle -> Alabama and UP of Michigan -> Wisconsin is enough to elect Clinton in 2016.

She wins the Electoral College if you give Camden County (NJ) to Pennsylvania, Monroe County (MI) to Ohio and Lake County (IL) to Wisconsin.

Oh wow, so you can also change 2016 with 3 urban counties!  I was too hung up on Cook flipping IN by itself to think of the suburb counties.

Yeah but if you switched Cook to Indiana, Trump would now win Illinois.

I got 421-117 with Trump in 2020 with all states being legal populations but that included part of Louie Gohmert's district becoming part of Washington.
