Worst precincts in the country under 2010 precinct lines.
Ok, second worst. Columbus OH takes the crown.
Reno is probably worse.

At least Reno's precinct's are contigous.
A decent amount of precincts aren't contiguous.

Columbus is far worse than Marietta or Reno, both the latter 2 can easily be placed in the same district.
I suppose that's a good point.

Tried to do an R gerrymander for Georgia. The easiest option seems to be altering Sanford Bishop's district, withdrawing it from its whiter areas and replacing them with black areas in the Atlanta area- and then using the extra breathing room to pull other red districts into Atlanta a bit, and ultimately pull the 7th out of the area and make it safe R.

All of the Dem districts here are majority-minority, the whitest of them being the 5th at 38% white and 6th at 40% white.



Eliminating the 7th does pose a risk for the Republicans though. Analyzing the red Atlanta-area districts in this map:

The 3rd was R +28.8 in 2016, and R +20.6 in 2020
The 7th was R +37.7 in 2016, and R +24.0 in 2020
The 10th was R +29.4 in 2016, and R +25.1 in 2020
The 11th was R +31.9 in 2016, and R +20.3 in 2020

The 3rd, 7th, and 11th would likely be safe for the next six years or so but it could become a dummymander by the end of the decade. But that would be the cost of trying to eliminate a D district- can't have it both ways.

(Note I explicitly did not remove any areas from the 14th given MTG's campaign against dividing her district up)
GA-2 is a Racial Gerrymander
