Feedback on new UI

Hi folks. Our new UI has been available for you to try out for awhile now.

We’ve received and incorporated a lot of helpful feedback--thanks!

We plan to switch over completely in a week or two, so now’s your chance to give us feedback that we can incorporate before we make the switch.

If you haven't already, please take a few minutes and us what you think. feedback@davesredistricting.org

The new UI has important new features and key improvements, including Dark Mode, more line customization, Color By county and city and much better tablet and phone experience.

Thanks!

What is the highest percent native congressional district you were able to make?

What was the percent and how could you draw it?
The best I’ve gotten was Arizona’s 2nd, at 22 percent, going through Navajo and Apache lands

Past gerrymandering in Spain

During the Spanish Restoration (1874–1931), Spain used FPTP under a controlled two-party system. The Conservative and Liberal parties would use both gerrymandering and caciquismo (the influence of the local rulling elite) to keep themselves in power and prevent both left-wing and regionalist parties from gaining representation. Examples of this include the districts of Vilademuls (red) and Torroella de Montgrí (teal) in the northeast. Funnily enough, the Vilademuls district would have been won back by a representative from the current two-party system in the latest general election, althouh marginally, after being a center-righ nationalist stronghold for a while.

Results if those districts had been in place in the latest general election:

Vilademuls Torroella de Montgrí
PSOE 24.77 % 23.57 %
Junts 21.62 % 24.12 %
ERC 16.23 % 17.36 %
SUMAR 10.12 % 11.22 %
PP 10.66 % 6.73 %
CUP 5.90 % 9.83 %
VOX 8.16 % 4.77 %
