Continuing to fix each state’s Congressional Districts, one by one, we come to Maine:
The fair districts that I designed (District 1 in red, District 2 in green) line up fairly well with the official districts (labeled and divided by a white line). The biggest difference is the same thing we saw in New Hampshire: cities split between districts in the official districts, and unified in my districts. In this case, the cities are Maine’s largest city of Portland and the twin cities of Auburn and Lewiston. Both are in District 1 in my map.
Twelve states down, thirty-eight to go. Up next: probably the hardest state to map.
