Hello Gerryheads and patriots!
Gerrymap 1.1.1 has brought 6 states (now lacking only Alaska and Hawaii) and 1988-1994 Senate and Gubernatorial elections to sandbox mode.
Georgia is a little easier.
Painting with the Race category no longer lags the game.
The portals in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and a few other places have subsided. It is now SAFE to leave your homes!!
