“+5R to +5R”
That’s tight!
How about (moving left to right) “+5D to +5R”.
Since it’s a wish list, why not set the intervals as
“<-20R”, “-20R to -6R”, “-5R to +5R”, “+6R to +20R”, “>+20R” and leave the Democrats out of it altogether?
+5 either way is a landslide these days.
Landslide? Hell it’s a mandate! It’s license to enforce the craziest ideas your most rabid supporter can dream up.
It comes out to:
Senate, 21 leaning D; 19 leaning R
House: 50 leaning D; 50 leaning R. One of those with a Republican incumbent is just barely leaning R.
It is all going to come down to turnout in the toss-up districts, which is usually the case.
By the way, it shows that the Supreme Court mapmakers did a good job in redistricting.

After all was said and done, both of my districts changed, and I kind of liked the folks who were representing me. Nevertheless, I agree with you.
By the way, I just started reading Demon Copperhead yesterday evening. Ms. Kingsolver is a wonderful writer. I will be looking further into her works very soon.
Thanks for the tip!
Attention to detail is so overrated. +5R to +5R ?
A. It looks like they used two elections, both of them pretty good years for the GOP (Youngkin’s win and Biden’s first midterm House races, always hard on the President’s party.) That’s too few examples for real targeting. B. Given it was two good R years, the steep hill it actually shows for the Republicans is even steeper still. This could be pretty ugly.
