I gerrymandered as much as possible and still only got it up to 57.3% Obama.

Four district non-partisanly drawn Utah actually divides pretty nicely, you get one district for the whole northern part of the state north of SLC, one for the SLC area which is basically the northern half of Salt Lake County, one for the southern part of Salt Lake County and Provo/Orem area, and then one giant district for the rest of the state. Too bad it's not happening.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I got 57.5% Obama by combining parts of Salt Lake County, Park City, and Ogden.

DC has partisan data now. The most Republican city council district (there are eight) you can draw is 79-20 Obama.

[Vasall des Midas]

1st distict San Jose town and eastern suburbs, 2nd western and southern suburbs with a little extension along the coast, 3rd eastern and southeastern parts of the island, 4th southwest with the cities of Ponce and Mayaguez, 5th (okay 0th) northwest. 1st to 3rd all within 4 of ideal population, 4th 68 under, 5th 61 over.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Partisan data for Connecticut is available.

Is a McCain district possible?

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Is a McCain district possible?

Sure, if you don't mind discarding such quaint notions as compactness, not splitting municipalities, and even road contiguity.



49.5% McCain, 49.3% Obama.

[realisticidealist]

Is a McCain district possible?

Yes, though barely. The Yellow district is 49.975% McCain. It may be possible to get it over 50%.

I actually got DRA 2.2 to load on my slow connection finally, but I keep getting this Async Error everytime I try to load a state after selecting which data to use. It happens on every state, and all three data types. It is happening on both my new and old computers. Has anyone experienced this before?

Yes this happens on some servers, but not on others. It's also more likely with larger states. I sent a note to Dave a few weeks ago, and I saw some improvement after that.

When it happens to me I find a server where I can download the state and set up the number of districts I want. If I save that file I find I can open it back at a location where the state wouldn't download and continue editing from there.

Could someone please add election data for AR, KY, and IA and presidential election data for MA?  Thanks!

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

I redistricted Kansas...Forgot to save map, but i got the numbers.

KS-01: 64% McCain
KS-02: 54% McCain
KS-03: 49% McCain
KS-04: 57% McCain

Only ugly parts is where I split Topeka three ways. Oh, and KS-03 was pretty fugly, but it's a completely urban district (Wyandotte, Johnson counties, and part of Shawnee county, and a few other decent sized counties.)



I think KS-02 maybe the only district who's representative who's congressperson was misplaced lol.

It would be nice if it were that easy.

If you have the map you might want to put that on the Kansas thread instead of here.

[Wrecking Ball and Chain]

So anyone else having trouble opening it now? It'll open for me but not load any states. I reinstalled Silverlight including downgrading to the suggested version, have tried different browsers and a new computer user.

Also emailed Dave about it. But any other suggestions?

[Senator Napoleon]

Same.

[Senator Gass3268]

Happy I'm not the only one having issues.

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Happy I'm not the only one having issues.

Same here.

[MilesC56]

It still won't load the states for me.

They won't even load on version 1.0.

This is obviously a sick attempt by the NY political insiders to reduce the number of private plans submitted so their terrible ideas will be all there is. $10K bet that they hacked the site.


I finally get the time to put my nefarious plans into action with something newer then 1.0 (I got 2.1 working last week), and they all quit.

ditto ditto ditto (I actually had a non gerrymandered NY plan that would have increased Republican representation)

many coincidences are not coincidences.  NY is the most gerrymanderd state in the country and any fair redistricting effort would lead to more Republican or Conservative  representation.  therefore it is not surprising that a website that was created by a very big liberal would shut down for the first time on the day that NY allowed any individual to submit a map.
