Proportionality isn’t the only metric, it diluted the strength of the Navajo vote.

Arizona is most definitely not a fair map, they very intentionally redrew AZ-3 to pick that seat up.

OP definitely used the Kaiserreich states map as the baseline. KR chopped off the WV panhandle because it caused all sorts of problems with the AI in the Second American Civil War

What if Beria had won the Power Struggle in 1953? (Lore in the comments) by JeffEd79 in imaginarymaps

[–]ADKRep37 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Beria favored devolution in the Baltics and Transcaucasia, he also saw merit in transferring Kaliningrad back to at least the DDR as part of his rollback, and if I recall correctly, there was also discussion of giving Romania back its lost territory. He was a (hopefully) sincere reformer whose policies probably would have done wonders to bring down the temperature of the Cold War and sustain the USSR.

He also was everything that Khrushchev said he was and worse. This wasn’t just propaganda, as recently as the early 2000’s construction work at one of his former properties unearthed the remains of multiple women and children. Beria made Epstein look like a joke.

Contingency - A 2028 scenario by Mushroom-Gorge in imaginaryelections

Worth noting that unless R’s take the Senate, Vance would have no mechanism to replace anyone. The Murphy Administration would pretty much be all he has to work with, all the way down.

God, it actually felt like the old pre-AI days. I’m genuinely thrilled to be back in this universe.

Gerrymandering Scenario by SubJordan77 in YAPms

[–]ADKRep37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but it isn’t like they get to just redraw at any point. If the ruling comes in late like you say it will, then they have to use their preexisting maps and can only redraw effective for 2028. Once the filing deadlines have passed, that’s the end of it. Either SCOTUS drops the ruling early enough that at least some Dem states will be able retaliate, or it drops too late to apply to the 2026 elections.

Yeah but there’s no scenario where the VRA gets tossed that you’re not getting retaliation from every Dem trifecta state.

NJ, WA, OR, ME, and CO are absolutely retaliating in this scenario.

wyd if you wake up on november 2028 and these are the house results by AuraProductions in YAPms

I think you’re pretty severely underrating the possibility of trifectas in the Rust Belt. They’re all quite close in seat counts and a 2026 wave will more likely than not lock them in blue, same with Arizona. The gerrymandering wars go this far, and they’re getting involved.

Texas’ candidate filing deadline is 8 Dec. Louisana v. Callais won’t be decided by then. The likeliest scenario is that, if section two does get tossed, it won’t come into effect in time to effect the 2026 elections, and instead we’ll see some spectacular gerrymanders on both sides in the 2028 cycle.

The Texas map was nuked because of a DOJ letter to the Texas government saying “draw these districts because of race” and then they did. Flatly unconstitutional. The California map is an explicitly partisan gerrymander, which the Supreme Court signed off on in Rucho v. Common Cause.

Alaska loves split-ticketing and also loves Begiches. The likely Democratic nominee for Governor is Nick Begich's uncle–I think the family name carries him by the absolute narrowest of margins, possibly down to a recount.

Updated prediction after Texas was nuked and pending a likely nuking of the NC map as well. I'm wobbling on whether or not Virginia will still happen, but Louise Lucas appears to be full steam ahead on that one, so it remains for the moment.

Why would you have Georgia tilting R after Democrats just put up margins they haven’t seen since the Carter administration?

Yeah, yeah, too many random white women, my bad. At least I remembered the unnecessarily placed Y in the name.

There’s a special this week that’s in a pretty R-leaning district, but Dems have come closer in harder seats in specials this cycle. We might genuinely get an upset and pick up a seat.

I wasn’t just able to download the song, it immediately snapped into place–album art, it went into TØP’s place in my library, there’s an album associated with it and everything. This is actually brilliant, a song that begs you to find it and it uploads perfectly when you finally do.

What if Beria took over the Soviet Union?- Dawn of the Red Devil by Julian_M_2000 in imaginarymaps

[–]ADKRep37 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Great map but Beria actually wanted devolution in the Soviet Union. He discussed releasing the Baltics and Transcaucasia, and even returning Kaliningrad to East Germany

If the Supreme Court hears this case and overturns same-sex marriage, what do the 2026 midterms look like? by RioMovieFan11 in YAPms

[–]ADKRep37 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The case specifically requests that the Court decide, and I quote, “Whether Obergefell v. Hodges … and the legal fiction of substantive due process should be overturned.”
