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.

If a rural American ever asks you what a Democrat did for them, you walk over to the wall and flip on the light switch, because the Rural Electrification Act was passed by Democrats and opposed by Republicans every step of the way, calling it socialist. #TX05
I believe in information for all. That means reliable robust broadband internet access. Our rural Texans (young and old) need this now more than ever.

I'm taking the fight for the American small town to our nation’s capital. I will make sure the voice of TX is heard loud and clear. My opponent spends his time yelling on cable TV & wants to defund the World Health Organization. Support my campaign today!
