In 1971, Swiss men overwhelmingly approved a referendum granting women the right to vote in federal elections. It did the best in French- and Italian-speaking areas as well as in the major cities, and was closer in German-speaking areas.

Astonishing - thanks in part to gerrymandering, the NO vote won every one of Kansas' 4 congressional districts yesterday! In "the big 1st", the NO vote squeaked ahead thanks to college towns Lawrence and Manhattan.

In 1934, Nebraska voters voted on whether to shrink the state's legislature down to one house. Inspired by the Australian province of Queensland, voters throughout the state successfully created the first and only unicameral legislature in the United States.

Last week, Democrat Greg Landsman defeated longtime GOP incumbent Steve Chabot in OH-1. While Chabot did get a boost from being an incumbent, Landsman got some help from redistricting and from Tim Ryan's run for senate, keeping this district just 3 points to the right of 2020.

Georgia's Gwinnett County is a prime example of suburban realignment in the last couple decades. Just 20 years ago, it gave George W. Bush over 65% of the vote! But in the most recent presidential election, Joe Biden won the county by a good amount, for a monster shift of D+51.

One of the races that swung the most to the right in the midterms was the KY-6 house race, where incumbent GOP rep. Andy Barr faced off against pro-Russia, pro-China Democrat Geoff Young, who was disavowed by the KY Dems. Barr won every county, including Biden+19 Fayette County.

In 2022, Sharice Davids won re-election by a much larger than expected margin. While the Kansas GOP tried to gerrymander her seat by adding three rural counties and taking away most of reliably blue WyCo, overperformances across the board and good trends in JoCo gave her the win.

Utah, despite its relatively small size, is extremely gerrymandered. All four districts, which all voted for GOP candidates with margins of 25% or more, contain portions of slightly blue Salt Lake County, which has more than enough population for its own congressional district.

There are many reason for this. First, and the main reason, is that Republicans have awful political geography in Nevada. It's almost the reverse Wisconsin, where instead of deep blue cities and light red rurals, Nevada has deep red rurals and light blue cities.

You can't talk about the worst cracks in gerrymandering without talking about Nashville. After being its own district in the 2010s, in the 2020 redistricting cycle it was cracked between three solidly Republican districts. Despite this, Davidson Co. as a whole voted 66% for Dems.
