Great project!
On the issue of the VRA there was room to go even further, imo - especially in creating Maj Black, Maj Hispanic, Maj Asian districts etc. as opposed to just Maj Min, but this map is still very good for that.
I like what you did in all the small states, except for Alaska, where I would break my own COI rules and split Anchorage, putting one half with the peninsula and Fairbanks + the North + the Aleutians with the other.
I'm pretty sure I made basically every possible Majority Black, Hispanic, and Asian districts, perhaps avoiding a handful if they were too erose. I would try to make a majority Black/Hispanic/Asian district, but if it simply couldn't be done then I would try to get a plurality district and if that couldn't be done I would try for a majority-minority. Asian populations, in particular, are too dilute to make majority districts anywhere other than California/Hawaii.
Be my guest, if you can find any possible opportunity districts I will change the map to put them. Maybe I left a few out in Texas.
For Anchorage, my choice was to divide the only major city in the state in two or have a donut district and I went with the latter. I did a similar thing in Northeast Indiana where I didn't want to chop Fort Wayne.
