Pretty impressive to have to Democratic vote sinks also be the two fastest-growing districts in the state. Although I suppose the NC Leg had the 2015 or 2014 data in hand when they redistricted based on 2010 Census data so it's not a coincidence.
Yeah, NC-4 and NC-2 are BOTH overpopulated, BOTH fast growing, NC-2 is BARELY Safe R anymore, NC will be gaining a seat in 2020 meaning all current seats will shrink in size...
...and somehow we're supposed to believe the Republicans can draw an 11-3 map for 2022.
They'd have to make an absolute hackery of the congressional map to pull that off. I'd imagine if the supermajority is broken by the time redistricting comes around that some of NC-04 will be distributed to surrounding districts, possibly making NC-02 more competitive.
