2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander
A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)
To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter

Methodology:
I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf
Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.

Trump 62.0% - Biden 36.6%
Real delegation: 6R-1D
Gerrymandered: 5R-2D
Δ Share of D seats: 14% => 28%
Easy Democratic pick-up of a safe new African American seat.

Thread: which party is "ahead" in redistricting? In my view, it's close to a wash. But the truth is, it depends which metric you use.
As @Nate_Cohn has alluded, tracking by district partisanship (slight Dem gain) differs from tracking by seat control (neutral/slight GOP gain).

New Jersey's new map is a perfect illustration. By @CookPolitical PVI (a measure of districts' 16/20 prez performance vs. national result), three seats have gone from R-leaning to D-leaning: #NJ03, #NJ05 and #NJ11.
Meanwhile, one seat moves from D-leaning to R-leaning: #NJ07.
Meanwhile, one seat moves from D-leaning to R-leaning: #NJ07.
By district partisanship metrics, that sounds like a great deal for Dems. And it mostly is!
However, Dems currently hold *all four* of these seats. That means the new map's most likely practical outcome in 2022 is still a Dem loss of one seat (9D-3R, down from 10D-2R in 2020).

NEW List of Dem candidates running for Congress in 2022 against GOP incumbents! Please take a minute and follow them! It’s the least we can do to show our support for the folks who are literally trying to save our democracy! RESISTERS RESIST #VoteThemAllOut2022

A weird issue the new GOP-passed NC congressional map wouldn't do anything to fix: about 23% of NC's population lives south and west of Charlotte, but there are currently zero members of Congress from there. #ncga
sorry, south and *east
#NC07 Rep. David Rouzer (R) moved to Wilmington last year, but he's really from 100+ miles north in Johnston Co. (still his political base), which is why Rs originally connected the two areas back in 2011.
NCSBE's first witness of the day is Michele Maultsby #NC09
Maultsby is a poll worker in Bladen County. She was the chief judge at her precinct #NC09
WHOA. Guys, it's not just #NC09.
In Columbus County, which is next to Bladen, also saw a significant drop in returned absentee ballots. Normally ~15% of absentees aren't returned, but in Columbus, it was over 30%.
The incumbent sheriff, a Democrat, lost by 57 votes. 1/

Democrat Lewis Hatcher (the incumbent) ran against Republican Jody Greene. It was a very competitive race. 2/
WECT9 reported tonight about the discrepancy in absentee ballots. Turns out, the man in the middle of the #NC09 election fraud, McCrae Dowless, was also working for Jody Greene, the Republican candidate, in Columbus County. 3/

🚨 Please share broadly! As usual, the Kochs are dumping tons of money into GOP candidates...especially into *critical swing districts* we need to flip.

I focused the list of NOMINEES. These are Democrats in swing districts who have already won their primaries and are facing off against Koch-infused Republicans in fall.
