[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I cut out the black areas to insulate me against a potential challenger in the primary and added some areas that would be personally favorable to me.

TN-9 as is (or whatever modified version we get after redistricting) is as good as it gets for me.

I don't know if you're as politically skilled as Steve Cohen for fending off black challengers. You want a less black seat. I came up with this, 57% white, 61.9) Obama. I hope you live somewhere in it.



I just noticed how small the white liberal part of Memphis is. Even for the south it's pretty bad.

Can you zoom into the Shelby County? I'm curious if I live in the gerrymander you created for me, but it's impossible to tell from that far out. Also, are you still able to create the required VAP district in W Tennessee?

OP said to pretend the VRA doesn't exist, so I ignored those factors.

For me, it would be similar to the newly drawn NC-4, but not extending to Fayetteville--I wouldn't relate as well to military Dems. I'd get the extra population probably from Greensboro. I'd like to decrease the black % (below 40% of Dems) and increase the Obama % (or at least keep it at 70%).

Could someone map and link one for me, please?

57.6% white. 67.1% Obama, but that's enough for "safe Dem".
