This week was a largely poor one for European advocates of austerity, with center-left victories in the UK at the local level and France at the national level, and a muddled result in Greece.

Drawing my inspiration from sawolf's similar diary applied to North Carolina, I chose to take the concept of redistricting states with telephone area codes as Congressional districts and apply it to my current state of New Jersey. The area codes cut in some interesting ways, so this is a different perspective on the various political dynamics in the state. This map creates six safe Democratic seats and three tilt Republican seats, though it is possible one or two in the first category could switch in a swing year. Map and analysis below the fold.
