The two new proposed congressional maps for Oregon are now up and analyzed on the @FiveThirtyEight redistricting tracker! projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…
The first map, Plan A, was proposed by Democrats, and you can see why. It would make a 5-1 map quite likely. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-… 
The second map, Plan B, was proposed by Republicans. It would keep the competitiveness of the current districts AND make the new #OR06 swingy as well. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…
The Democratic map more accurately reflects Oregon's likely-Dem partisanship. But it is not competitive at all; the GOP map is much more responsive to the national environment.
Feels like there's a compromise to be reached here that doesn't go so far out of its way to create winnable districts for the GOP but also doesn't turn a light blue state into a 5-1 state. We'll see.
