Clean up the Lumbee, you split it,
Despite them being too small to likely influence the primary itself they still should be kept together so they can influence the general election itself as they are very elastic swing voters in a swing area giving them a solid chance of choosing their own representative

I think its acceptable to split Wake so no whole district is in wake provided its still in the metropolitan area but splitting Raleigh is a gerrymander.

Version 3 looks really good. I assume you're going for minority opportunity in 12. To the naked eye it looks like 9 is hunting for red/purple precincts, but there could definitely be a valid COI argument for drawing it like that.

I used the demographics map in that regard: I initially only had composite set up (since DRA requires a partisan layer choice) which certainly wouldn’t have been very helpful in the area either way. And yes, I wanted to ensure the map stayed legal/met requirements + felt like white suburbanites vs AA inner voters to be a pretty good COI.

You can hide election data btw .

Here I just tried not to look at it/put the composite since it’s essentially outdated, how do you hide it on the new version?

In the settings where the datasets are, and at the very bottom it says hide election data.
