(shaded by 2016 presidential data)
Which of the following does this look like? D gerrymander, R gerrymander, competitive-mander (gerrymander designed to produce competitive seats), fair-proportional map, fair-non-partisan map.

Is this a 9-2 Biden map? Looks like a D gambitmander that gambles on current trends to hold. But yes, four of the seats are marginal, so it's a map that leaves Republicans a real chance to come back to 6R-5D and can in that sense be considered a competitive-mander, too, and a fair-non-partisan-map of sorts. An R gerrymander certainly not (at least in 2021) and the concept of fair-proportional map needs further definition because I think that people don't agree on what it means.
