Excited to see!

Rural CO is given two seats. Colorado Springs and Denver get dedicated districts. A Latino influence district has been drawn, centered on Adams County and most of Aurora.

Two CDs take in 93% or so of the state's land area but only 25% of the population.

CO-01: 80-18 Biden, D+29; 54W, 28H, 11B
CO-02: 66-32 Biden, D+14; 77W, 13H
CO-03: 51-47 Trump, R+6; 74W, 19H
CO-04: 60-37 Trump, R+15; 62W, 30H
CO-05: 53-43 Trump, R+10; 66W, 18H
CO-06: 59-38 Biden, D+8; 43W, 40H, 10B
CO-07: 59-39 Biden, D+6; 74W, 16H

If only the Colorado commission would draw something this beatiful

This was very straightforward. Whole-county NV-02, and three minority opportunity seats out of what was left (NV minus NV-02 is about 40-41% white). One district was formed, centered on the city of Las Vegas, and another was drawn in the most Asian parts of Clark County. The rest formed something of a leftovers district with most of the eastern half of the built-up part of Clark County. To confirm to rural being paired with rural and so on, all the empty parts of Clark are within one congressional district.

NV-01: 54-44 Biden, D+4; 39W, 36H, 15B
NV-02: 54-43 Trump, R+8; 63W, 23H
NV-03: 53-45 Biden, D+3; 42W, 23H, 21A, 13B
NV-04: 51-47 Biden, D+1; 41W, 33H, 16B

Firstly, why didn’t Dems do smtg like this instead of their god awful tri-chop? I swear even though top line it may look clean I rlly hate the new NV map as there’s not a single district contained to Las Vegas and city lines seem completely ignored.

I really hope Nevada gains a 5th district in 2030. It'd make a good map fall a lot more naturally and would create a rural exclusive district rather than having a Reno + rurals and Las Vegas + rurals district. It'd also likely allow for an actual Hispanic VRA seat in vegas.

Also it’s weird looking at such urban and diverse seats voting so narrowly D.
