Once again, I would like to post a map I drew of Kentucky's Congressional districts, but first a bit of backstory. Back in 1991, Kentucky Democrats drew a map they thought would give them 4 out of 6 seats. This map (which closely resembles the one used during the 00's) backfired in 1994 and went from 4D-2R to 4R-2D in a few years. It went even further to 5R-1D when Republican Anne Northrup defeated Democrat Michael Ward back in 1996. It then went back to 4R-2D in 2006 when Democrat John Yarmuth defeated Northrup. That is where things stand today.
In this theoretical map I drew, I did what Democrats can do (and probably what they should have done back in 1991) to maximize opportunities in as many Congressional districts as possible by packing the bedrock of KY Republican strength into one district. This would give Democrats the opportunity to have 4 seats, but no less than the 2 they already have. In the best case scenario (though improbably), they could get as many as 5. If Democrats had the trifecta here, this is what they should consider strongly. The only "ugly" district I drew is the 2nd. All of my districts deviate from ideal population by less than 100 people.
Let's see how we come about doing this....
