Here are links to DRA maps of the first two proposed maps.

Both presented by Republicans.  

Kinda surprising they aren't gerrymandering the map, they're both just least change maps.

I won't be posting all of these as they are filed, but this one makes the 2nd even more democratic than the last two I've posted.  

This is SB720, from the Senate this time.

Do all the legislators just get to file a bill of whatever they want or is there some process here?

Mark Johnson is a Republican from SD-15.

As long as the district elects the candidate of African American's choice, it doesn't necessarily have to be majority black.

Similar to the two Detroit MI districts.  That said...I don't think a black VRA seat in Arkansas will actually happen.
