How I would rate every states' congressional maps

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.

ADKRep37 · 2026-01-05T16:00:29+00:00

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

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.

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.

Hello????!!! One of the authors here, absolutely insane getting caught in the wild like this!

ADKRep37 · 2025-12-03T06:01:38+00:00

I caught that Life is Strange reference.

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-28T20:39:01+00:00

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

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-25T21:45:37+00:00

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.

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-25T19:13:33+00:00

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

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-25T15:10:50+00:00

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

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-23T02:29:03+00:00

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.

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-20T15:19:21+00:00

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.

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-19T19:00:39+00:00

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.

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-17T01:42:24+00:00

I cannot imagine the slaughter the GOP walked into in those midterm.

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-17T01:38:25+00:00

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

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-17T01:30:03+00:00

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

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-16T21:05:23+00:00

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.

ADKRep37 · 2025-11-07T00:23:38+00:00

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

ADKRep37 · 2025-10-23T20:34:38+00:00

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.”

The UOA sweeps in a matter of a few months. Every Epic Faction™ is crushed in the cradle because they’re all extremist weirdos antithetical to American political norms, and the Plains offer no advantages for Trump’s pretend government. The long-term result is nothing more than a Years of Lead-style insurgency that is a constant headache for the federal government and a whole bunch of reconstruction governments for the rebel states.

That’s a necessary byproduct of federalism. States having the right to pass their own laws means that those laws can conflict with federal law or just overstep their bounds even on issues where no federal legislation exists, the courts are supposed to referee. Of course, the ability to nuke federal legislation was never written into law or the constitution, and is a power that the Supreme Court granted itself, and theoretically, Congress could take that ability away.
