The below shows just how "good" the "non-partisan" commission's Democratic gerrymander was in AZ:
Arizona: 1,467,617 (9 Districts)
Republican: 817,178 55.7% 5 (8 Candidates)
Democratic: 577,947 39.4% 4 (8 candidates)
Libertarian: 23,767 1.6% (3 candidates)
American Electors: 44,924 (2 candidates)
Independent: 3,496
Write In: 305
It strikes me as the biggest differential of any of the 50 states. I don't think anywhere the minority party got that high a percentage of the CD's with around 40% of the vote. If AZ-02 has swung the other way, it would have been even more spectacular.
uhhh, the problem isn't the map just that of the 4 competitive districts, the Dems control 3 and these were created on geographical boundaries that reflect the interests of the area rather than packing in like minded voters.
