Hey! If its not to much trouble I noticed that you make good maps do you mind doing an updated color scheme for the governor elections in 1994? Thanks! Birdinabox (talk) 22:44, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Can you please make the lines in Minnesota & Mississippi white, so they are even more visible? —GoldRingChip (please reply on wp) 17:15, 21 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoldRingChip (talk • contribs) 17:15, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

While MI-13 and FL-23 got new incumbents, they were not flips, and I would change the TX-35 pick up to TX-37, since 37 is the new district, just with the incumbent running there instead of 35 Bamoyer (talk) 02:09, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

I would also say TX-34 was a Dem gain, since the Republican was the one representing the district since this summer, and it was the TX-15 incumbent who won Bamoyer (talk) 02:13, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm just using the standard used in the article for the map. Consensus for this and past redistricting cycles seems to consider the actions of the incumbents more important than geographic continuity. Ketrit (talk) 02:39, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

What about MI-13 and FL-23, what source said those were flips? Bamoyer (talk) 21:20, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

The 2022 House elections Wikipedia page has them as flips. For the first one Lawrence was redistricted into Tliab's seat and then retired (don't know why it isn't the same with Tim Ryan's seat however). As for the second Deutch resigned from his seat making it vacant before the election and ergo a pickup. Ketrit (talk) 02:58, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

116th Congress House map

Hello, We just two special elections in North Carolina in both it's vacant seats. Can you update the map to show the results of the two GOP victories please? I would do it myself but I do not possess the tools to do so. Thank you. Wollers14 (talk) 04:40, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello the vacancies of the map need to be updated again and also NJ02 needs to be turned red to reflect Van Drew's party switch.Wollers14 (talk) 22:34, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello again Duncan Hunter has resigned from the House can you mark CA-50 as vacant on the 116th Congress page. Wollers14 (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Can you update the map again we've had a lot of special elections and the map needs to be updated accordingly. Wollers14 (talk) 04:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello again can you update the 116th Congress map because the vacancies and special elections need an update again. Wollers14 (talk) 04:06, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

2020 Election House map

Hi there. I saw you edited the election map on the 2020 elections page. Can you mark IA-02 as a GOP gain please due to the GOP candidate being seated in the 117th Congress? Wollers14 (talk) 05:19, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello again it looks like NY-22 has finally been decided. Can you mark it as a GOP gain? Wollers14 (talk) 03:56, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Older (pre-1912) Senate maps

Hello! Thank you for all the work you do mapping and recoloring the U.S. elections national maps. I have been working on mapping pre-Seventeenth Amendment elections but there are some obvious problems. I was hoping we could hash these out before I undertake a major to-do.

There are a couple of big questions:

• how/when to map special or late elections, which were far more common before the popular vote, and failed elections where a seat was left vacant
• what colors to use for hold/gain for the various third parties, particularly the Populists, Silverites, and Silver Republicans

Interested in your thoughts particularly on the vacancy/special election question. I'm partial to coloring a vacancy based on the eventual result of the election, unless it was not completed within the "target Congress." e.g. in 1898–99, Delaware failed to elect a Senator to the 56th Congress, and would not fill the seat until 1903, during the 57th. I think in that case, the state should be colored a dark gray or white to indicate a vacancy. But in other cases where a regularly scheduled election simply takes a few extra months or weeks to complete, it should be colored as normal.

Let me know what you think! -A-M-B-1996- (talk) 17:04, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

@-A-M-B-1996-: Hey, it's good to know someone is adding maps to older congressional elections; I wanted to but have been a bit busy in university. As to your two questions:

I think you're right in coloring the eventual result for elections to a certain Congress as that's the status quo with 1974 and the 1912 maps.

I just put the party color from their article or the infobox into this and use the 7th color from the left as hold and the 11th from the right as gain, example of this with the Whigs.

I hope this helps out. Ketrit (talk) 06:42, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

@Ketrit: That's great! I'll get started on these; feel free to make any changes to them once uploaded, though. -A-M-B-1996- (talk) 15:36, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

House Maps

Hi Ketrit, I was just wondering how you make the house maps and continue to add the new updates such as North Carolina and Pennsylvania and what programs or websites you use to do so. Thanks JoshRamirez29 (talk) 22:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I didn't see this. I used a combination of Inkscape, Mapshaper, and QGIS to create it. For the state boundaries I used the shared polygon edges tool on QGIS and the district lines themselves I found from either the official state websites or Dave's Redistricting. If you're trying to make something specific I could try to make video demonstration of it. Hope this helps. Ketrit (talk) 12:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Metro areas

Hello. I am the one who initially added the labels to New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago in the House map before the 2020 elections. I ordered the list from the highest to lowest population represented . However, I listed it based on city population instead of the population shown on the map itself. At the very least, Los Angeles should be above New York since LA County has 10 million residents compared to New York’s 8 million, and the Los Angeles area shown on the map includes areas outside of the county itself. As such, Greater Los Angeles should be above New York City. However, the districts are linked to that on the generic map and I was unable to move Los Angeles above New York because I am not that familiar with Inkscape. If you can, please move Greater Los Angeles to be positioned above New York City. Thanks. Fluffy89502 ~ talk 00:26, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm remaking the map because a fair amount of districts overlapped on the shapefile. I'll try to rearrange them when I'm done with that. Ketrit (talk) 02:41, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

2022 U.S. House Map

Sorry to bother, but can you change Moskowitz seat to normal blue instead of the color for a Democratic gain? I edited the article to say it was a Democratic hold, in line with the Indiana seat that Republicans held, since both were vacant but previously held by the same party that won in 2022. Labeling it as a Democratic gain is not in line with vacancies on maps of past elections and is misleading to viewers, since it implies the seat was previously held by a Republican.
