NOW: Final press conference of @HouseGOP conference
#LA01 @SteveScalise, #SC03 @RepJeffDuncan, #LA06 @RepGarretGraves, #NDAL @RepArmstrongND, and #MN08 @RepPeteStauber talking about HR1
#LA01 @SteveScalise, #SC03 @RepJeffDuncan, #LA06 @RepGarretGraves, #NDAL @RepArmstrongND, and #MN08 @RepPeteStauber talking about HR1
#LA01's @SteveScalise said to my question on HR1 that Biden “declared war on American energy” the day he took office by canceling Keystone Pipeline, he’s made it “harder to produce energy in America.”
“He’s not against fossil fuels,” he seems to be against American ones
“He’s not against fossil fuels,” he seems to be against American ones
In response to @TylerOlson1791's question on a TikTok ban, #NDAL's @RepArmstrongND sounds optimistic about a ban--I spoke with him about this a few weeks ago

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

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 week late, but let's do a thread on the Alabama VRA case and what it might mean for redistricting in 2024. The Supreme Court is expected to reinterpret the VRA--one way or another--next spring, and the Court's new guidelines will change the way states approach redistricting. 1/
Earlier this year, a lower court ordered Alabama to redraw its map (left), which has had one Black-majority district since 1992. Plaintiffs convinced the court that the VRA required Alabama to draw two Black-majority seats (right, for one example). 2/
SCOTUS has long had a 3-factor test (the "Gingles factors") to determine when a VRA district is required:
1. A compact district can be drawn that is at least 50%+1 of a min. group
2. The minority is politically cohesive
3. Whites bloc vote to defeat minorities' candidates

1/33 Sorry for long thread, but I want to post this before E-Day:
I've worked for years on an unfinished project to draw nonpartisan congressional maps for every state to analyze gerrymandering. This map shows the 2016 pres margin by hypothetical district. State maps to follow.
