With the Release of the two Party's proposed NJ Maps, I thought it'd be a good chance to take a look at how those maps performed in the 2017 Gubernatorial election, since it is the one that most adequately shows the down ballot partisanship of most districts
The biggest differences between these maps come in LD-1, LD-2, LD-4, LD-8, LD-11, LD-16, LD-21, LD-38, LD-39, & LD-40
From these we can see that in LD-1 LD-2 & LD-4 the Dems made sure to s shore up 4 & Target 1 whilst abandoning 4, where by contrast the GOP made them in such a way where the diminishing down ballot strength that dems have in South Jersey is their only bulwark against the GOP.
Furthermore, in LD-8, the Dem's map has it at a handily (19.93% )won Murphy district, where in the GOP map, it's narrowly Guadagno(0.87%)
Lastly, in the GOP map: LD-21 & LD-39 LD are narrow Guadagno. & LD-40 slightly Murphy(5.91%) so as to slightly target LD-38(10.84%)
Where in the DEM Map LD-21 & LD-39 are Narrow Murphy. & LD-40 slightly Guadagno(5.95%) to shore up LD-38(15.89%).
[Forgot to mention LD-16, it’s the only district that’s decently Murphy(12%) won on the Dem Map, and Decently Guadagno (8.8%) won on the GOP Map]
