North Carolina 2020 Redistricting

[Antonio the Sixth]

Probably will be 8-6, but could be 7-7.

Do we have the detailed 2020 results?

I have to wonder why everybody is so allergic to just making a district that has all of Guilford and as much of Forsyth as possible. That seems like the obvious move COI-wise, and it's what the Court did last time, so why not now?

BTW, 538 seems to be treating the map as final. We'll see if they know something we don't.

I think the main thing is no one has any reason to appeal. This is pretty good for Democrats and Republicans aren't getting anything better out of this court until after the elections.

Yeah, the map is fine from a partisan standpoint. It's just so frustrating because it's possible to make a map with similar partisanship but significantly cleaner. There's no excuse for a court to be so messy about it.

This map is very poorly drawn in a way that doesn't really effect results--for example, Cary, Apex, and Raleigh and sliced down the middle when that cut could be easily shifted to one.

It kind of looks like somebody's first shot ever at making a map, tbh.

Yeah, this is really disappointing. I don't know why they couldn't get a professional onto it to be the special master. Heck, Persily was free since it turns out his services weren't needed in PA after all.
