I've been obsessed with this site for the past few days. Glad somebody else is sharing in my obsession. I've made an 11-3 GA, an all red LA, a TX with only 7 Dem seats, and an all red AL (similar to somebody else's above) among other maps that would all get struck down by some left wing court.
Glad I’m not the only one
When I get to work tomorrow and figure out how to post the screenshots I’ll bump the thread with some of mine. It’s an addicting site for the very bored. This post was edited on 1/24/22 at 5:34 pm

Here's the 11-3 GA map I made. Metro Atl area is hard to see, but just know that I quarantined Dem voters there the best I could lol

NW La should be a district, not north

There isn’t enough people in NWLA alone to do that. Would have to extend it all the way down to DeRidder and include Rapides in order to do that if you didn’t want to go east of say Ruston. At which point it’s no longer really only “NWLA.”

I'm talking about going pretty far down, or if you wanna do North LA you need to go further south, Sabine, Natchitoches, etc.

You have one too many districts.

I love the algorithm ones, or the ones that stay within the parish/county lines. Draw them concisely and let the voters decide the party to represent them.

district. It just happened to turn out with the same political seats as what we have now (meaning we could potentially do something like this and nobody in power should complain).
JBE wants a 4 R and 2 D congressional map though

I tried to make one of these. It ain’t easy without some seriously wonky shapes. There arent enough D’s in BR and Nola combined to have two blue districts without finding a way to include the black areas from NELA in one of them.
I’d post it, and I usually know how to post pictures but for some reason I’m an idiot and can’t make the Districtr screenshots show up in the thread.

Love it, but it'll never happen. Gerrymandering sucks so hard. It gives you unimpeachable candidates on both sides (R & D). They need to take that out of the hands of politicians and let computers do it.
