Princeton Gerrymandering Project is live with our latest report cards out of Virginia. Maps A7 for the House of Delegates and A5 for the State Senate were released this morning.

A7 House of Delegates: gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
A5 State Senate: gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
We give the A7 House of Delegates Map a B. It gets a B on Partisan Fairness, a C in Competitiveness, and a B in Geographic Features. It, like several of the maps proposed yesterday and earlier in this process, has a noticeable line of BVAP population above 50%.
We give the A5 Senate Map an F. It gets an F in Partisan Fairness - this map is a Republican gerrymander. It gets a C in Competitiveness and a C in Geographic Features. It also has the noticeable 50%+ BVAP population threshold.

In view of the midnight deadline for Ohio's Congressional redistricting, the Princeton Gerrymandering Project has a report card for the Draft Democratic Congressional Map.
The overall score is B.
gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-… Image
The map receives a B in Partisan Fairness, meaning a slight D advantage. Out of 15 districts, 8 lean D. Ohio is, roughly, 55R - 45D. The map is barely competitive: only three districts in our competitive zone.
The map retains one Black opportunity district - District 3, formerly represented by Marcia Fudge, currently vacant. This is the same number as the prior map, though the prior map had a Black population of 53.5%. The new district has a BVAP of 41.6%.

We have a report card for the Georgia 2021 Draft Staff Congressional Map. The overall grade is C.
gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
The map gets a C in Partisan Fairness - favoring the GOP, with an expected delegation of 9R/5D.
The map gets a C in Competitiveness - despite 0 competitive districts, our findings suggest D and R voters in GA are clustered - there is strong partisan sorting in the state.
Of the districts, there are two which come close to competitive, the 6th & 2nd. The 6th contains Atlanta suburbs, including sections of Fulton and Forsyth Counties. The 2nd, a large southwest district, contains Columbus and Albany.

We have a report card for the Texas 2021 Draft Staff Congressional Map. gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
The map gets an F in geography - it has many noncompact districts and splits a large number of counties.
The map gets an F in partisan fairness - it draws far too many Republican districts.
The map is marginal on competitiveness - only two district possibly in the competitive range and 19 districts with a Republican vote share between 60-70%. This suggests that line-drawers were trying to shore up Republican districts.

We'd like to highlight some of the individual winners who participated in the Great American Map-Off. Today we'll focus on the first place winner, and winner of the grand prize, Nathaniel Fischer of Boone, North
Carolina. (1/6)
The task was to draw a 14-district North Carolina Congressional map that best preserves communities of interest. Nate's stated goal was to use "many layers of datasets to skillfully craft districts that a native North Carolinian would be excited about." (2/6)
