Thread: Everything that is wrong/illegal with the maps on this article. https://joepa04.medium.com/2022-house-elections-redistricting-overview-cadcdfbcf5db

Alabama: Legal, but on HR.1, Dems should have an second seat.
Arizona: Illegal. Splits Native reservations, unnecessarily ugly and I would bet that it's not VRA compliant too (having only 1 Hispanic maj seat)
Arkansas: Same as AL.
California: Unnecessarily ugly (See next tweet)

...And just eyeballing it, not VRA compliant.
Colorado: Legal, but unnecessarily ugly.
Connecticut: Same as CO.
Florida: Easily the worst FL map I've seen here. They can't destroy FL-05, has no Black majority seats (there should be 2) and you double-bunked multiple R incumbents.

Georgia: They can't destroy GA-02, it's an VRA seat.
Illinois: Unnecessarily ugly, I would bet it's not VRA compliant on Chicago and they won't throw two Dems to the wolves lol.
Indiana: Legal, but same as AL.
Iowa: VERY illegal. Splitting counties on Iowa is unconstitutional

Kansas: Liberal state SC which will strike down n gerrymander.
Kentucky: Same as IN.
Louisiana: ''Urban packing is effectively mandated'' Lol, what? There should - and likely will have two Black majority seats.
Maine: Legal.

Maryland: I think that they will probably do three Black seats + you can make it more safe.
Michigan: THE FUCK??? literally just Republican wishcasting and the shapes are way too ugly
Minnesota: Extremely ugly for no reason.
MS: Unfairly cracks the Black Belt, very ugly.

MO: Legal but I doubt that Cleaver will be drawn out, he has an good relation with the legislature
Montana: Unnecessarily ugly but legal
Nebraska: ???????? Why is there an rural-Omaha seat on an fair map? There should be an narrow Trump or narrow Clinton urban/suburban seat

Nevada: Too uncompact and for nothing, my fair NV-02 is more safe for Dems.
NH: Illegal because it splits towns. (cc @norwood270)
NJ: Do you seriously think that the incumbent-favoring comission will throw the House Chair of the E&C committee on an R-leaning seat?

NM: Just R wishcasting. If you think that Rs will go brutal on the Atlanta suburbs who swung left way more than NM Latinos swung right, then why do you think that the NM Dems won't go brutal too?
NY: I need to see downstate to see if it's VRA compliant

NC: An gerrymander will be knocked out by the court as they have done many times.
OH: This violates the county splitting rules for redistricting of Ohio.
OK: I don't see anything illegal
OR: Same as OK, but you can do an D gerrymander more effective.

PA: Unnecesarily ugly. Why did you merged Reading with MontCo??
SC: I don't see anything illegal but same as AL.
TN: Same as SC.
TX: Draws out an lot of R incumbents, packing and not VRA compliant. there should be two black maj seats

UT: They have an independent commission, Imao
VA: Just an terrible map. Unnecesarily ugly, drawns out Spanberger for some reason and what the fuck did you do with Loudoun????????
WA: Unnecesarily ugly.
WV: Legal.

WI: Legal.
