Model California's 36th Congressional District in five steps
- Set the candidates. Name the contenders for the California's 36th Congressional District (or keep the generic Democrat / Republican defaults). The map starts from real 2024 results in every precinct.
- Apply a swing. Move vote share statewide, or by demographic cohort, with a slider. The map and the running tally recompute instantly.

- Roll up & share. Roll the result up to chamber control, then publish a shareable, frozen link to your scenario.
