Seeing this has made me wonder, what IS the most left wing congressional district that can be drawn? Not "highest democratic vote share," "most leftist." I submit this district as the answer most immediately obvious to me.

if communities of interest are completely ignored you can make the "Suffolk Snake." Are YOU in support of this ??

What happens when you connect every single blue precinct in West Virginia? Not much apparently. The district in question voted against Harris by 26 points.

The 2012-2016 Pennsylvania Congressional map was a doozy. The dramatic shifts of the Democratic and Republican parties have left the map almost unrecognizable from its original 13-5 configuration, leading to a seat originally drawn as a Democratic pack as a Trump 10 seat and 1/

three suburban Philadelphia seats voting comfortably for Kamala Harris. The map really illustrates how the voter bases of the two parties have changed in the last 15 years. Here's the map on 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 data to show the evolution

The current Colorado map was drawn by an independent redistricting commission that completely butchered it. Here is my proposal for a better one. (2nd image is the current one)

Well I figured Paxton would win but not by this much. Not even the suburbs held for Cornyn! And Dallas is only going for Cornyn rn by less than 1%. Humiliating end to a career.

What the actual fuck was this plan. I saw OSINT accounts discussing that it might be the case in the opening days of the war but didn't take it seriously. What did they expect to happen? Guy is on house arrest and you try to free him by bombing the house???

A NYTimes Exclusive:
Days after Israeli strikes killed Iran’s supreme leader, President Trump mused publicly that it would be best if “someone from within” Iran took over the country.
It turns out that the United States and Israel went into the conflict with a particular and very surprising someone in mind: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former Iranian president known for his hard-line, anti-Israel and anti-American views.
To say that Mr. Ahmadinejad was an unusual choice would be a vast understatement. But U.S. officials spoke during the early days of the war about plans developed with Israel to identify a pragmatist who could take over the country. Officials insisted that there was intelligence that some within the Iranian regime would be willing to work with the United States, even if those people couldn’t be described as “moderates.”
But the audacious plan, developed by the Israelis and which Ahmadinejad had been consulted about, quickly went awry, according to the U.S. officials who were briefed on it.
There are many unanswered questions about how Israel and the United States planned to put Mr. Ahmadinejad in power, and the circumstances surrounding the airstrike that injured him. American officials said that the strike — carried out by the Israeli Air Force — was meant to kill the guards watching over Mr. Ahmadinejad as part of a plan to release him from house arrest.

There was a US Senate election that had a margin of victory of two votes that was so controversial that the two candidates just gave up and had the senate declare the seat vacant and re ran it.

My attempt at a fair California map (2024.) Trump wins 14 districts to Harris' 38, meaning the Republicans win 27% of the seats on 40% of the vote. This still isn't proportional but I couldn't do better without butchering the shapes or city lines, which I tried to follow.

Would appreciate feedback from Republicans (preferably in California) about bits to switch around to make it more fair while still being competitive. Here's an inset for LA-San Diego and the Bay Area too (IK 6 and 7 need to be changed lol)
