@ChazNuttycombe Speaking of NH, are you going to be doing anything with the Executive Council (the "third chamber") when the NH analysis eventually drops?

[OryxMaps @OryxMaps]

@DwnTwnWithBrown I'm almost certain the issue that you are looking at is that the DRA basemap is old.

I used a 2022 shape file to match the fies. DRA then breaks this out into blocks and reconstituts under their precicts.

If the errors are more serious, send them to the redistricting data hub.

[OryxMaps @OryxMaps]

@ChazNuttycombe In case you were not made aware yet, the people have publically listed these in the DRA 'Published Datasets' section and can be freely imported for analysis.

Now, obviously, it's not perfect cause of how frequently wards need to be cut, but it's there.

Election Day will narrow this, but Cava seems poised to secure re-election without a runoff #flapol #sayfie

As a former geography teacher and self-proclaimed GIS nerd, I’m thrilled to proclaim today as Geographic Information Systems Day.

Here in Minnesota, we are using GIS to make state government more effective - whether we’re replacing lead pipes or expanding homeownership.

They fixed it. Success!

Attention @Nate_Cohn @clairemfahy @nytimes - I love the NYT election coverage, but you got a rather big issue that needs to get fixed before polls close: your New York results page is not prepared to report the results under the new Congressional Maps drawn for 2024!

Dudley results in the Black Country near Birmingham. Important council, since it's full of tight Parliamentary seats, and every councilor was up. Labour and Tories tied at 34, with the 3 Lib-Dems likely to side with Labour here.

3 councilors per ward, dot means ward went 2 to 1

Tamworth has fallen to another Labour Sweep. This was near-uniformly Conservative for a long time - completely Tory in 2021. Then the incumbent MP's scandals became public . This landslide follows a similar 2023 result and the subsequent Tamworth parliamentary By-Election gain.

🚨 BREAKING: Labour declares victory in the York and North Yorkshire mayoral election

Rishi Sunak's Richmond seat is now under the control of a Labour mayor

Labour spox: "This is a truly historic result. Keir Starmer's Labour party is now winning in Rishi Sunak’s backyard."

[OryxMaps @OryxMaps]

Burnley Labour fragmented after Gaza last year, with the Muslim councilors going Indie and forming their own administration with the Greens and Lib-Dems. Labour have advances versus all parts of this coalition and even taking back defector wards.
