A democrat just flipped an R+22 state house seat in suburban/rural Georgia south of Athens.
Democrats faced a number of special elections tonight in Florida, Iowa, and Georgia and performed about 10-20 points better than they did in 2024

I was interested in comparing the 1875 Compton and Dry map for St. Louis to the modern Seattle townhome block. What are your thoughts?
Comparing a 2020s Seattle Block to an 1870s St. Louis Block
Over on Bluesky, STLRainbow shared an image of the 1875 Compton and Dry Maps featuring the near northside of St. Louis. A typical St. Louis block in this image is ~2 acres. Take this block bounded by Carr, Biddle, 10th, and 11th. To the right of Biddle Street (unmarked), you can see the Shrine of St. Joseph (#11), which still stands today.
