#ElectionTwitter Well gang, DRA has gone through some updates, so I'm making a new tutorial for it. Hopefully this will help new users and returning users that want to learn some more. For new users, this is one of the homepage screens you could get (thread)
#ElectionTwitter Alright gang its map tutorial time. Whether you've used Dave's Redistricting Atlas (DRA) before and want to see more of what it has to offer, or are new and want to see how it works, I'm here to help out. Here's the homepage you'll see when you go to the site

Ashland County WI is split between the liberal city of Ashland, conservative rurals, and deep blue Native areas. The split broke in Harris’s favor, giving her a 5 point win, although this is a fall from previous Dem margins #ElectionTwitter

Heading to see Annapolis today. It sits in Anne Arundel County, which went for Harris by 14 points. She did best in Annapolis and Odenton, but Trump did surprisingly well in Pasadena and the more rural south of the county/Baltimore suburbs #ElectionTwitter

I’ve got some academic research on the subject for him to read that says otherwise.
Abbott: It’s the gerrymandering in these blue states that distorted the politics in America.

2020 for context. Hard to believe Hillary Clinton actually lost a precinct in Brevard when you see how far left its shifted (R+20->16->12)

Transylvania County NC was one of Kamala Harris's few few in the state where she improved over Biden's 2020 numbers. She lost the county by 12, but depopulation in rural areas and the growing outdoorsy community around Brevard caused a massive swing towards Dems #ElectionTwitter

Someone is going to be arrested by a dude as old as the Rizzler.

Anyone here ever run redistricting algorithms (SMCs specifically) in R? I am suffering.

Comanche County OK has been the site of some competitive special elections in recent years, being one of the most Dem-leaning counties in OK. This being said, Trump won it by 24 points in 2024. Lawton is home to Cameron University + the most Dem-leaning precincts #ElectionTwitter

Albany County WY is home to Laramie, the University of Wyoming, and is the most competitive county in the state. Biden carried it in 2020, but Trump flipped it back in 2024 by about 3 points, losing only the Laramie proper #ElectionTwitter

Alabama HD 32 is a narrow Democratic seat that stretches between Talladega and Anniston in the eastern part of the state. Harris won the seat by about 1.5 points, doing decently in the cities thanks to nonwhite voters, but poorly in the whiter rurals #ElectionTwitter

2018 primary elections. Not much was on the ballot, but I voted for Patti Piatt for KY-04 (she didn’t get the nom but she was the best of the 3 candidates).

Why does the new San Antonio district look like a goddamn Bop-It?.
Here’s my version of the proposed redraw of the ‘26 TX House map. Trump’s most dominant MOVs unsurprisingly came in the more rural 1st, 13th & 19th CDs, while his weakest were in the ancestral Dem 28th & 34th and the San Antonio metro based 35th. Presidential race comparison 👇🏻

RT @StatisticUrban: 911 didn't reach coverage of 50% of Americans until 1987 lol. It wasn't nationally mandated until 1999. So many facets….

The proposed TX-32 shifts from a double digit Harris seat, to one that Trump won by 18 points. The seat merges parts of Dallas and Collin counties with more rural turf to the east, which heavily favors Trump. If the seat stands, I'd rate it at Likely R for 2026 #ElectionTwitter
