Redistricting solution: hold a public contest to divide a state into contiguous, equally populous districts using the shortest line length possible. Entry with shortest total line length at contest deadline is enacted. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidshor DeFazio would be at real risk...Schrader could run in the Clackamas district but could lose a primary. GOP would be favored in new Salem district. — PolitiTweet.org

...whereas if Dems were drawing a purely partisan map, they'd probably draw a pretty secure 5D-1R map (below). That's potentially a two seat swing. Republicans only need five seats to take back the House in 2022. https://t.co/2mRrmhrGa6 — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Why is this such a big deal for Congress in 2022? If a court were drawing a compact, partisan-blind Oregon map, they might end up drawing 3/6 seats that at least *lean* Republican (below). https://t.co/e52Sc8fv8e — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
To be clear, I should have said "exclusive" control over redistricting. There will now be equal numbers of Ds & Rs on redistricting committees, which increases the likelihood Oregon courts will draw the new map. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Interesting: to stop Republicans from engaging in delay tactics, Democrats in the Oregon state legislature have struck a deal to relinquish total control over redistricting. Oregon is slated to gain a sixth House seat in '22, so this could be a big deal. https://t.co/goiz1Y6piD — PolitiTweet.org

McClellan is by far the more experienced legislator. But she just hasn't put together a viable campaign. #VAGOV — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Terry McAuliffe's glide path to the Dem #VAGOV primary has been premised on two Black female opponents splitting votes. But today's $$ reports suggest more of a two-person race. COH as of 4/1: McAuliffe: $8.5 million Jennifer Carroll Foy: $2.3 million Jenn McClellan: $442k — PolitiTweet.org

A classmate sent me some pics of some of the super high-tech election maps I drew when I was 15(?). So I guess at least one person thought it was cool. https://t.co/HdESXDWyOY — PolitiTweet.org

My one piece of advice: there’s no substitute for occasionally getting away from the computer and soaking up politics IRL (when the world permits). Whether it’s meeting local candidates, working on campaigns, talking to voters in places unlike your own...you’ll be better for it. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Not sure if #ElectionTwitter is an unofficial club, state of mind, or what. All I know is when I was a ‘90s kid obsessed w/ political maps, I wish I’d known other kids who thought it was cool. So it makes me pretty happy it’s a thing now...and I hope one of them will mentor me. — PolitiTweet.org

The top overperformer vs. the top of the ticket in 2020: #NY24 Rep. John Katko (R), who voted to impeach Trump. The top underperformer? #MN05 Rep. Ilhan Omar (D). https://t.co/LQAzBFX7Ts https://t.co/hRJ9El0wCP — PolitiTweet.org

The top GOP-trending district in the country? Rep. Bill Johnson (R)'s #OH06, which moved from R+16 to R+24. Rep. Tim Ryan (D)'s #OH13 was second, D+7 to D+1. https://t.co/EJwkvvb3RQ — PolitiTweet.org

On the other hand, 2020 also saw the fewest number of "crossover" districts in memory, with just 16/435 districts splitting their tickets for President/House. This number was 35 districts in 2016 and 108 in 1996. https://t.co/LQAzBFX7Ts https://t.co/avkWFfVvIh — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Two countervailing trends explain this rebound: 1) Many former heavily R suburban seats reacted badly to Trump and became less so in 2016/2020 2) Plenty of heavily Hispanic (FL/TX) and northern blue-collar districts became much less reliably Dem — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
Peak polarization? For the first time in @CookPolitical PVI history, the number of "swing seats" (between D+5 and R+5) rebounded slightly, from 72 to 78 (it was 164/435 in 1997). https://t.co/LQAzBFX7Ts https://t.co/EtjSj0FvBc — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
The new most Republican district in the country? Rep. Robert Aderholt (R)'s #AL04, at R+34. But there are 15 Dem-held seats that are D+34 or more. The new most Dem seat: Rep. Dwight Evans (D)'s #PA03, at D+41. https://t.co/wtgEq14BI4 — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
But, per @CookPolitical's new PVI, 230/435 districts still lean at least slightly more Republican than the nation. The reason: Dem voters are still a bit more geographically clustered than GOP voters. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
In 2020, Joe Biden became the first Democrat since Barack Obama in 2008 to carry a majority of congressional districts (224/435). There were 17 districts that flipped Trump -> Biden, and only two that flipped Cinton -> Trump. https://t.co/LQAzBFX7Ts https://t.co/IXmJrNu1kP — PolitiTweet.org

Although these district boundaries won't be in effect for 2022's midterms, this dataset will serve as a useful baseline to compare old and new districts' partisan leanings once new lines are finalized next year. — PolitiTweet.org
