#ElectionTwitter Well gang, DRA has gone through some updates, so I'm making a new tutorial for it. Hopefully this will help new users and returning users that want to learn some more. For new users, this is one of the homepage screens you could get (thread)

[Chris Kirkwood @bluearrowMaps]

#ElectionTwitter Alright gang its map tutorial time. Whether you've used Dave's Redistricting Atlas (DRA) before and want to see more of what it has to offer, or are new and want to see how it works, I'm here to help out. Here's the homepage you'll see when you go to the site

This is first class? It looks like a jail

[Zachary Oren Smith @ZacharyOS]

Following her primary win last night, U.S. Rep. Hinson took a 1st class ticket out of Iowa for a markup in DC today. A source said, “I asked her about lahn she said she was surprised. She's only ever spoken to him once a year ago when he apparently wanted to run for Congress.”

@DrewSav This class of freighter is super modular. I’d imagine once the crew grew beyond Han and Chewie, the other closet (?) space was turned into a bathroom

@MassJumbo Its like only this map too, idk what they were thinking

Ontario is competing with Phineas and Ferb for longest summer break apparently

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

NEW: the Ford government confirms the Ontario legislature will begin a 102-day summer break today, not returning until Oct. 27.

Government house leader Steve Clark explains the province doesn’t want to interfere with the municipal elections, so they’ll return the day after.

@Nebraskademsoc I took psychic damage from looking at this

[Chris Kirkwood @bluearrowMaps]

I’m out west for the next few days, watching primaries is going to be so much more satisfying with earlier results lol

Walla Walla County WA is the most fun-named county in the state, and is home to many vineyards. Trump won it by about 8 points, only losing the city of Walla Walla to Harris #ElectionTwitter

Igotta advise you AGAINST eating grapes with a fork

The California State Assembly has passed the Protect Our Games Act, a bill to protect user rights after a game's service ends

Under this, games shutting down would need to provide at least 60 days notice to consumers, while also ensuring that purchasers will still have access to the game via an alt version or patch that allows it to be played offline. And if not, they must offer refunds

The bill must still be passed by the California Senate

What part of WNC would you stay in for a week?

[Chris Kirkwood @bluearrowMaps]

Send me to WNC and I can stay in one goddamn COUNTY all 2 weeks and have a blast

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

@davidslosttt The COI on that 6th is bad. Partisanship is fair though

Breaking news: Redistricting is officially dead in South Carolina.

The South Carolina State Senate votes against redistricting in 26-18 vote

6R-1D congressional map stays in place

[Florida Data Geek ✝️🇺🇦🇬🇱 @MappingFL]

I made this image for an upcoming article on Tennessee redistricting I am wrapping up

Because nothing sums up the nonsense of the Callais decision better than this

Could a Dem win this seat this year? Yes but it would be a tough climb, and holding it in 2028 and 2030 would be even harder

[Chris Kirkwood @bluearrowMaps]

The proposed SC-06 takes a safely Democratic seat and makes it one that Trump won by 11 points. Harris did best in the Black Belt portions of the seat, but Trump’s margins came from the northern end in rural areas and Metrolina #ElectionTwitter

News - After losing his primary, Thomas Massie has already filed to run again in KY-04 in 2028.

@WWFerguson2 Apparently republicans managed to get their preferred council president elected

[Chris Kirkwood @bluearrowMaps]

Saw this photo of Louisville Republicans' plan to win a majority on the Metro Council (left). Problem is, their path runs through 3 seats that Harris carried by over 15 points (right). As it is, I think Dems are favored to win all the Harris seats (so D+3 gain)
