My previous diary where I Canada-styled New Hampshire, I didn't have political data. But now that it does, I figured I'd do it over and go for something a little more respectful of city lines.
Previous Canada-styles: NM, ND, SD and VT
As before, all the ridings are all 85%+ white VAP. The difference between the smallest and largest riding is 5,794, or 5.3%. Considering the wild swings NH voters like to go on, I'm considering anything within 5 points a swing riding, 10 lean.

Bass and Guinta would probably have to pick new ridings to run in or lose under this system.
UPDATED So, assuming all other things are equal, this is a 3-3-6 map, with all of the swing ridings having been won by Obama by about 5 points. Quite a far cry from the 0-2 delegation we have right now!
So out 6 states I've done so far, that's 55 ridings, making for a 25-23-7 roster.
Til next time!
