2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander

A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)

To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter ImageImageImageImage
Methodology:

I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf

Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.
#ArtoftheGerrymander: #Alabama
Trump 62.0% - Biden 36.6%
Real delegation: 6R-1D
Gerrymandered: 5R-2D
Δ Share of D seats: 14% => 28%
Easy Democratic pick-up of a safe new African American seat.

A quick look at how the race panned out in my neck of the woods: #HD37A.

This was an Obama->Trump district that swung back to Biden this time. There are some more blue-collar burbs here that were open to giving Trump a shot, but looked more like the rest of the burbs in 2020.
In the race for #MNLeg in #HD37A, @ErinKoegel ran roughly even (actually a hair ahead of) the top of the ticket. She was reelected to a third term against Spring Lake Park City Councilman Ken Wendling. Some minimal realignment here from 2018.
In the race for #SD37, @SenJerryNewton was reelected by single digits. In the A portion of the district (which he used to represent in the House) he ran roughly even with Biden and Koegel. This was a rematch from 2016 against @sanford4mn.
