Having all the polygons on a given layer all one single color is boring and makes it easy to get lost when zoomed in.

Rather than using political data like Cook PVI to color the districts, color all districts with an east-to-west orange-to-green color gradient. The orange in the east contrasts nicely against the blue ocean and the green in the west matches up with the green blobs that represent certain forests as well as contrasting better than orange against the average yellow color around there from all the yellow road lines in the interior.

Color gradients make state house and state senate districts unusable at high zoom level (low altitude). A small selection of colors (preferably four as in the four-color theorem) will be used instead.
