Thank you for 1000 followers (part 2โฝ) To celebrate, here's the latest version of my national fair map... and a thread of threads with a breakdown of each state and links to each map!
@BennetEnjoyer@Prolemasses Utah doesn't have it to the extent of California (we get ~65% of the vote in on election night) but we still take weeks to figure out the winner of close races.
@Prolemasses Between how effective pullpush reddit search is and how limited reddit's native history and search tools are the difference between leaving old posts up and deleting them is ~zero.
If Texas had a fair congressional map this cycle, Dems could have come out of it with as many as 24 seats after November. Instead their ceiling is 15 seats, and their most likely total is only 10.
@MappingFL The Court went from saying in Rucho that "we don't condone partisan gerrymandering but the Constitution allows it", to saying in Callais that "partisan gerrymandering is a legitimate redistricting goal that can trump compliance with the VRA". It's just so grotesque.
They literally cite the partisan reasons of Republicans as a reason to allow the map change. I don't see how any map, including Tennessee's recent map, will be rejected by this court.
The VRA, at least for any partisan elections, is dead
@JacksonForUtah@wanderingdave I don't really think McAdams was ever going to run a hopeless campaign in a district he doesn't even live in. Had something like my zero city splits map been chosen with a Trump +19 district (pictured) I'd see the argument, but not with the map that we got.
