Ok, so basically I was bored and decided to experiment how things would be if the US used the exact same apportionment process we do. I decided to do only the House for now. Anyways here are the rules:

1) Every state starts with a minimum of 2 House seats
2) All other seats are split up in a proportional basis (basically, divide the US population by 250 and give out the seats according to the population distribution)
3) Apportionment is done in a "continuous" basis (doesn't really matter for this, but I used 2019 population estimates)
4) The total number of seats is capped at 350

I willl be giving 2 sets of results, one for a proportional election (based off the 2018 House election results, using the D'Hondt rule) and one with FPTP maps (which is the more interesting one I think)

And here is the initial apportionment. As you may expect, this kind of apportionment benefits small states (since the minimum is bumped up to 2) and goes against large states

Wyoming

FPTP:



WY-01 (southeast Wyoming):  Trump+38, Safe R
WY-02 (rest of the state): Trump+54, Safe R

Total so far
2 Safe R

Proportional
Republicans: 63.8% (2)
Democrats: 29.8% (0)
Libertarians: 3.5% (0)

Total so far: 2R-0D

While a 1-1 split is most certainly within reach for Dems in a wave, they fell short in 2018.



Vermont

FPTP



VT-01 (Northern Vermont): Clinton+28, Safe D
VT-02 (Southern Vermont):  Clinton+25, Safe D

Total so far:
2 Safe R
2 Safe D

Proportional
Democrats: 69.2% (2)
Republicans: 26.0% (0)

Almost a mirror image of Wyoming, a 1-1 split is not unthinkable but Republicans failed in 2018

Total so far: 2R-2D



Alaska

FPTP



AK-01 (Anchorage): Trump+1, Tossup
AK-02 (Northern Alaska): Trump+31, Safe R
AK-03 (Southern Alaska): Trump+14, Safe R

Total so far:
4 Safe R
1 Tossup
2 Safe D

Proportional
Republicans: 53.3% (2)
Democrats: 46.7% (1)

Democrats narrowly lost in here in 2018 and therefore don't get a 2D-1R split. However I think Alaska would almost always get a 2R-1D split anyways.

Total so far: 4R-3D



North Dakota

FPTP



ND-01 (Fargo & Grand Forks): Trump+13, Safe R
ND-02 (Eastern ND): Trump+40, Safe R
ND-03 (Western ND): Trump+55, Safe R

Total so far
7 Safe R
1 Tossup
2 Safe D

Proportional
Republicans: 60.3% (2)
Democrats: 35.6% (1)

Total so far: 6R-4D

ND would have very boring elections, basically locked into a 2R-1D split forever. Republicans would need just shy of 75% for a clean 3 seat sweep, and Dems need to win to get the 2nd seat.



South Dakota

FPTP



SD-01 (Vermilion & Brandon): Trump+20, Safe R
SD-02 (Eastern SD): Trump+34, Safe R
SD-03 (Western SD): Trump+36, Safe R

Total so far
10 Safe R
1 Tossup
2 Safe D

Proportional
Republicans: 60.3% (2)
Democrats: 36.0% (1)

Total so far: 8R-5D

Very similar to ND, a guaranteed 2-1 split.



Montana

FPTP



MT-01 (Western MT): Trump+19, Safe R
MT-02 (Central MT): Trump+11, Safe R
MT-03 (Eastern MT): Trump+34, Safe R

Total so far
13 Safe R
1 Tossup
2 Safe D

Proportional
Republicans: 50.9% (2)
Democrats: 46.2% (1)

Total so far: 10R-6D

This is  a very interesting series!

One nitpick, because I can't stop myself--IIRC the logical dividing line in Vermont is East vs. West along the Green Mountains.

Yup when Vermont was a one party GOP state there used to be a pact to alternate between that line for  the governor's

I like the series. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out between the FPTP and proportional systems.

Minor note: As strange as it might seem, the Democrats would have a legitimate shot at those two western Montana seats. Yes, the ticket splitting can be that big in certain places.

I mean, you can ignore the VRA all you want, but you must be a bit sadistic not to create a majority-Black Safe D district around the Mississippi Delta.

Thing is, from what I can tell, Mississippi seems to have 2 very clear communities that should not be split: the 10 counties in the coast, and the 3 counties that form Jackson metropolitan area

With the map I made, you head south from Jackson and draw one district that way, and draw a second in the coast. Then the remainder I decided to split it east-west; but you could draw it North-south too (but that'd be an R gerrymander imo)

You can of course head north from the Jackson metropolitan area instead, towards the delta, creating a majority black district. However, that forces you to create a diagonal district that, in my opinion is quite awkward. That does create a black and at the very least likely D district (55-45; D+4, 55% black) but I think it looks worse than what I drew:



Since in my map you end up with an R+1 and an R+3 seat; I did not really consider it an R gerrymander (I tend to view 2R-0D-2S as equivalent to 3R-1D) and does not really change things much.

Nah, this does not look worse. Maybe it even looks better. District 2 from your original map is not exactly less awkward than the diagonal district.
Also, I see your point about very clear communities, but I don't know, splitting Hinds from Rankin feels just so fine in my book.

Tack you literally have the OKC seat which Democrats hold as Safe R Tongue

Whoops!

I was going exclusively off Trump% and PVI there; Trump+10 and R+9 looks like a rather safe seat to me (albeit trending D) but yeah I guess Likely R is a better categorization Tongue

To be honest I think I probably made similar mistakes in many seats, where I've categorized them as Safe R because of having relatively big R PVIs and Trump margins but would have probably flipped in 2018 anyways because of trends.
