In the case of California, the 84% share of votes cast in Biden precincts happens to exactly line up with the... 84.6% of districts on the new map that Biden won. Doesn't prove it's not a gerrymander, but it's a reason I don't think the proportionality argument is compelling — PolitiTweet.org

The same measure, btw, shows some of the challenges Democrats have in other states. Only 44% of votes in Wisconsin were cast in Biden precincts! That's a huge part of their 'geography' problem, and why even a Dem draw would struggle to get to a 4-4 split — PolitiTweet.org

We can look at it in terms of counties, too. Counties are a key building block for districts, and it captures something that precincts don't get: whether the precincts are grouped together in a way that lend themselves to effcient/inefficient districting — PolitiTweet.org
