Wisconsin was a compromise map, the legislature was split.

Georgia's current map is a Republican gerrymander enacted in 2005.

North Carolina's current map is a Dem gerrymander, as far as I know.

Mass and Maryland wouldn't matter -- the Democrats have veto-proof majorities.

Presuming Duffy wins in WI-07, they can make it the district more Republican by trading territory with WI-03 (which in turn would make Kind safer).

Also, it looks like the Dems will have 2/3rds in the CT legislature, so they don't need Malloy to gerrymander the state.

There is not much Democrats or anyone could do in Connecticut to create a Republican leaning seat.  Its kind of like Massachussetts. 

You could probably play with the borders of CT-05 to make a district Bush won in 2004; it barely went for Kerry in its current form.
