I tried my hand at a fair 2-district map of Maine.


Image Link

The Population Deviation is less than 0.01%, and it reflects 2015 - 2019 ACS Data.

46/100 on Dave's Proportionality Index
89/100 on the Compactness Index
66/100 on County Splitting
0/100 on the Minority Representation index (lol)
58/100 on Dave's competitiveness index

The map above shows results from the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.

Check it out here and see county and municipality boundaries.

I tried my hand at a fair 2-district map of Maine.

Golden lives in Lewiston, so this map would draw him and Pingree into the same district and leave the Second completely open. I doubt that the legislature would let this happen, assuming that a non-incumbent Dem would be unlikely to build the reputation and crossover appeal to hold onto the seat in what's likely to be a Republican-favored year in the House.

I guess you are correct

On the other hand, I utterly do not care about incumbents when drawing my maps.
While this may be unpalatable to many, this won't be changing (unless I'm drawing a realistic map or something, which I don't do often).

Also, can't Jared Golden just move? Politicians have that luxury. He probably has three houses or something.
