Oregon is poised to gain a House seat for the first time since 1982. Dems face a dilemma: with so many of their votes concentrated in Portland, how can they safely stretch their 4D-1R lead into 5D-1R? Well, here's one creative way they might try:
In the hypothetical above, all districts except #OR02 voted for Biden by 10%+. But, the new #OR06 extends from southeast Portland to Umatilla. And, #OR04 crosses the Cascades from Eugene to Bend. I'm not so sure courts would look fondly on this map?
The crazy thing about Oregon: if you were drawing a map w/ compactness principles as your only goal, you might end up with a map where 4/6 districts voted for Trump in '16, as shown below:

#NewYork, you've got some splainin to do. Three NY R's on this list.

It's critical that three things happen.

1. Stop this insanity in the Senate. Sign petition actright.com/petition/534

2. Tweet these reps your thoughts on their support for #InequalityAct

3. #Primaries
I can't believe that good Republicans won't stand up in these districts to launch primaries. A betrayal of this magnitude requires defeat. It's that simple. And don't try the, "What if you weaken them and a D wins." Nothing worse than an R that betrays core principles.

🚨 Please share broadly! As usual, the Kochs are dumping tons of money into GOP candidates...especially into *critical swing districts* we need to flip.

I've threaded links below to the Democratic challengers in these races. Please RT and support them! /1

I focused the list of NOMINEES. These are Democrats in swing districts who have already won their primaries and are facing off against Koch-infused Republicans in fall.
