New Cogressional District 7 is 58.1% Democratic

Proposed Congressional Map for Indiana



See previous post for methodology.

Marion County in 2010 had a 55.5-45.5 majority Democratic baseline.  I ran the number on the proposed new 7th Congressional District.  It is 58.1-41.9 majority Democratic.  So the 7th is more Democratic than the county as a whole.  (Which means that the northside territory cut out of the district was actually marginally Republican.)  Although I didn't have the precincts to do the numbers for the old 7th compared to the new, since the map traded slightly Republican area for heavily Republican area, heavily I think my guess that the new 7th is marginally closer than the old district is right on the mark.
