I was just going to suggest that Alex, thanks.

Wiltshire is uploaded. For some reason it's not showing the thumbnail or small preview on my computer, only the large image when clicked on - can anyone confirm if that's just a glitch on my side?

Nope, I'm getting it as well. Happens sometimes I'm afraid.

Tried reuploading it, but didn't seem to help. Ah well.

I can see the small(ish) preview, and then I can zoom in twice to full size.

Excellent work Alex. I see what you mean about headaches - that whole 'let's make the county council into a unitary authority and abolish the district councils', 'OK, how do we make the new UA cope with the greater responsib--' 'MOAR COUNCILLORS!!!!" thing.

The North East Party want to abolish the primary authorities and beef up the parishes, and I felt so sorry for Alex when I found out.

What's with the red speck in Hawaii?

I'm not mapping the elections to every Parish council in the NE if they manage that.

Northumberland is now uploaded. I think I'll jump to Cornwall next and hope to meet Thande in the middle.

Are you planning to use the SNP/PC yellow-green for Mebyon Kernow as we discussed earlier?

(I am also thinking of using it for the English Democrats in Doncaster)

And the Yorkshire Party and NEP as well, I presume?

Yes, except perhaps in cases where more than one of these parties is involved at once (which is not likely).

So, basically, Future!Doncaster.

I'm a bit busy with the election at the moment, but I can certainly fill in a few maps after the elections to help with the Collective Effort.

I am. I suppose we could just extend it to being 'Nationalist'

The answer is less interesting than you realize. FL-25 is the most Cuban district (and the Cubans living there are older and more established).

FL-26 and FL-27 also had Cubans outvote Whites, but in FL-26 a large Black population, and in FL-27 a large non-Cuban Hispanic population weigh down the total non-White figure.

I know, I'm just joking.

No it's pretty much 50+ year old Cubans who've voted Republican since forever. In Miami whites vote liberal in many parts, and in many parts Cubans vote conservative. FL-25 is Hialeah and Doral, both very conservative Cuban areas. However, it's been trending Dem.

EDIT: Ah, I've seen Reagent has responded.

Somerset is uploaded.

Alex Richards · May 2, 2017

Excellent work. If I can get Somerset done and Devon started tonight it looks like we might actually just finish these.

All US House maps (by state) now uploaded.

One of the most interesting parts of this is the district numbering. It's often stated that the numbering in Texas is illogical, but it makes sense when you realize that the district numbers originally made sense, but then they kept adding new districts in each major city after each census. And also there was that one time when the 18th district moved from the Panhandle to Houston.
