I had actually fiddled with a 2 GOP/1 Dem map a few years back on Dave's Redistricting App.

Using the 2008 prez numbers:
Green: McCain 54%-46%
Blue: McCain 50.1%-49.8%
Purple: Obama 76%-24%

Basically the blue district is NM-1 with much of Albuquerque taken out and put in the third (purple district), then run up to Los Alamos and Huntington at the Colorado border.

I suspect I could make a better, and perhaps even a neater map.

Good stuff.

Well, hopefully we win the NM elections in 2018 and 2020. Need to hold the Governorship (John Sanchez?) take back the House and get that pesky Senate for the first time since ??? (Our campaigns only has the Senate results as far back as ‘96)

MD and PA results available

Not much to say about Maryland, GOP margin increased slightly in our only district, the 1st, and rat margin increased slightly in the only semi-competitive district, the 6th. Not significant.

Clinton/Trump/Obama/Romney

MD-01 Harris, Andy (R) 33.5 61.9 37.8 60.3

MD-06 Delaney, John (D) 55.8 39.7 55.4 42.6

Let’s look at PA

PA-06 Costello, Ryan (R) 48.2 47.6 48.1 50.6
PA-07 Meehan, Pat (R) 49.3 47.0 48.5 50.4

These 2 suburban Philly seats that narrowly went to Romney saw a slight swing to Clinton and she carried them. Costelleo and Meehan both won easily.

PA-08 Fitzpatrick, Brian (R) 48.0 48.2 49.3 49.4

Almost no change in this district, Romney won by a tenth of a point, Trump by 2 tenths.

PA-15 Dent, Charlie (R) 44.2 51.8 47.9 50.8

RINOish Charlie Dent’s seat sees a little bump for Trump

PA-16 Smucker, Lloyd (R) 44.2 51.0 46.3 52.4

Trump down a little but Clinton down a little more

PA-17 Cartwright, Matt (D) 43.3 53.4 55.4 43.3

In thinking about rat districts that may have gone Trump, I forgot about this one. Nearly a mirror imagine of 2012, 10 point win for Trump. Cartwright won reelection by less than 8 points over one Matt Connolly, I didn’t even know there was a real race on there. District to watch.

All heretofore unmentioned GOP districts saw increases ranging from slight to fairly big, here are the 2 next most marginal GOP seats, fairly big gains

PA-03 Kelly, Mike (R) 35.0 61.1 43.0 55.6

PA-11 Barletta, Lou (R) 36.2 60.0 44.5 53.9
