A quick look at some redistricted counties in the metro LA/OC Area. Cook PVI’s are calculated by close and reasonable guesstimates (for districts with Los Angeles in it), the rest are calculated by number crunching (very time consuming). I apologize for the ugly screenshots, as i have tried the Map2JPG feature that Dave’s Redistricting gives you, with no success. So this is the only way i can do it. Follow me below..

Other Notes: Replaces a bulk of it’s hispanic areas, with more asian (and some conservative) cities such as Diamond Bar and Walnut. Judy Chu should have no problem if she were to be in this district. I tried to make it a bit more asian, but anymore and i’d get a gerrymandered mess.
