My take on Fair, Sensible Congressional Districs

Inspired by the announcement that a judge panel will be evaluating Wisconsin congressional districts and by [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/wisconsin/comments/1pgr66q/my_idea_for_the_layout_of_the_future_wisconsin/) on the subreddit, I wanted to [try my own hand](https://districtr.org/plan/349928) at redrawing our maps in a fair way.

To the greatest extent reasonable, I stuck to county boundaries, and when that wasn't possible, followed square township boundaries to maintain contiguity and aesthetic sensibility.

The map creates groupings that I believe are:

1. Most importantly, **Fair:** every recent house election would have likely sent 4 democrats and 4 republicans, reflecting Wisconsin's near-perfect partisan split 2. Reasonably competitive: a \~5-point swing in either direction would award either party 1 additional seat, with a \~7-point swing in either direction awarding either party 2 additional seats. Parties realistically need to nominate non-lunatics in at least two of their four advantaged districts. 3. Groups [geographically ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Wisconsin#/media/File:Wisconsin_geographic_provinces.svg)and [culturally ](https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/politics/wisconsin-political-geography/)similar regions to the greatest extent possible while satisfying the above criteria.
