Tbh I think in this case it's just the ingrained assumption of a two-party system in the US.

I think this is the perfect opening for that one image, you know the one.

Oklahoma presidential vote 2016 by state house district and state house election 2018 - comparison:

Illinois state house:

Ah yes, the Illinoise house, a.k.a. "okay, these are good congressional boundaries for Chicago, but can we make them... squigglier?"

 

[Thande]

And the state senate.

 

[Redolegna]

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but that's basically just New York flipped upside down, except for the absurd Senate situation?

 

[Thande]

Nevada State Assembly and State Senate. Previously Dems did well in presidential years but GOP in midterms - but this time substantial Dem gains in western Las Vegas suburbs.

Massachusetts State House & Senate elections @zaffre

The real reason for America's strong economy is the Unopposed Colour Shade Paint Factory hiring so many more workers to keep up with demand.

reassuring that no matter how scandal-racked our state senate is, charlie baker will do literally nothing for the rest of his party

Is this an accurate map of which legislatures we've posted maps of so far between us, or have I forgotten anything?

All mine are there.

I did the Colorado House and both chambers in Washington, can't remember if I've actually posted them. If I find the Colorado Senate boundaries, I'll also be doing those.

Looks accurate on my part.

I couldn't remember if you'd posted them, yeah.

Wait here a minute? How many unopposed Democratic constituencies are that?

It looks like one of those old Singaporean elections, where it was declared already on nomination day that the PAP had won, because in a majority (often a vast majority) of the constituencies, only the PAP had fielded candidates.

Some US states are like that - in the Arkansas house, there are 100 seats and the Dems only fielded 56 candidates this time, and there are probably examples of it being mathematically impossible altogether.

However, they would never declare a win already on the day, because in America theoretically you could have people win on write-ins or something.

They have when it's a Republican with a Green and Libertarian on the ballot paper IIRC.

Unnecessarily large maps of Delaware. The Democrats picked up one seat each in each house, both in the same part of the north of the state - district 12 in the house and 3 in the senate.
