Here's the overall diagram for all 435 seats based on the #FairRepAct maps that I drew over the last year.

The United States: 191R-206D-38?
120 districts total
5-winner: 43 (215 seats)
4-winner: 8 (32 seats)
3-winner: 56 (168 seats)
2-winner: 7 (14 seats)
1-winner: 6 (6 seats)
This appears to have a slight pro-Democratic tilt overall, but I do not think it's meaningful, especially given the limits of the data we're working with.
It has the equivalent of the following number of majority+plurality districts by racial group:
White: 284+27
Black: 27+14
Hispanic: 47+13
API: 10+7
"The equivalent" because with multi-winner districts, majority is not the relevant threshold. A group has the equivalent of a majority district if they are above the threshold for a seat, and a plurality district if they are below the threshold but closer than any other group.
As always, remember that these are not the actual districts that would be drawn if the Fair Rep Act passed. They're just samples. But proportional representation works - you'd get similar results under any reasonable set of districts.
Here's a Google Sheet to explore all the projections: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d….

Here's a master thread of my #FairRepAct maps, with one fact about the Act each.

1. The Fair Representation Act was introduced by Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) along with seven co-sponsors as #HR3863 in June, 2021.

Here's Virginia: 3 districts, 5-3-3, 5R-6D
2. The #FairRepAct establishes that all Representatives will be elected by proportional ranked choice voting.

Here's Arizona: 3 districts, 3-3-3, 3R-3D-3?
3. Instead of each Rep having their own district, states would divide into larger multi-winner districts, each electing 3, 4, or 5 Reps proportionally. That's what these maps show.

Here's Colorado: 2 districts, 5-3, 3R-4D-1?
