I was going to ping Moun after I returned from my holiday next week to create this sort of master thread, so good on you for taking  initiative. Suggestion to the mods: Please pin this thread.

I'd recommend adding the 1-CD states (besides just Montana, which some project to gain a 2nd CD) and Rhode Island (which currently has 2 CDs but which most project to go down to 1) as there could be some interest in Legislative redistricting in those states (I had a thread on Vermont Legislative Redistricting in 2011).

Yeah, I was thinking about this as well. Perhaps a East Coast small thread (VT/DE/RI), and a western one (AK/ND/SD/WY/MT(?)) would be best since the topics are going to draw less attention naturally on their own. For instance, AK is going to see an interesting legislative battle considering how Independents and Crossbench Republicans have determined who controls the lower chamber this decade.

Also, QOL request here. If you are going to post a map, don't just post the DRA link. Post an image as well so that those who are on mobile devices at the time are not totally in the dark, at least until said person returns to a computer.

I'm not sure if we have a true Wisconsin thread yet so:

Evers presets a 'fair committee' to the state. Of course it's all unofficial, since power will be with the legislature and traditional mappers for the immediate future. However, Evers decision to claim this position will give him some capital when the maps inevitably go before the courts.
