This would be fun map. 1,2,3,4 and 5 all are lean to strong Biden. 6(Biden),12(Trump) and 14(Trump) are all with-in a few point. and the rest are Trump lean to strong.

In a decent year Dems could win 6,12 and 14 while holding on to 1-5. But in a good Republican year they could win 6,12, 14 and maybe 5 while holding on to the others. The good thing for Dems about this map is 5, 6 and 11 are going to be trending toward them while 12 will bounce back and forward. 14 is a hard one to judge. It will most likely be a slight lean Republican district.

DRA has this as a 4-4-6 map.

It sounds like the new 13 will have a lot of Charlotte in it

[Vern]

Expect to see the revised maps today.

What makes you say that?

[Vern]

I was wanting to be in a swing district. But I'm in the new 13

[Vern]

From my understanding. This is the House's map. The one that matter is the Senate map. They seem to be the playmakers.

[Vern]

The 9-5 CST22-3 map passed committee on a voice vote and will go to the full floor when the senate reconvenes at 12:30.

I personally think this map is ok. I understand people are making an uproar of Guilford getting spilt. But it could be a lot worse.

I means the underlying numbers are somewhat fine, but geography is awful. Which was the intention, and your perspective depends on your goals. I have seen national commentators say exactly what you said, but everyone in NC is like, "nope!" And that reflects the differences in purposes: national only care about seat totals, but the people who have to live with the lines want something everyone can understand.

To that end, I'm sure the courts rejection of this map would go like "The legislature made a valid attempt for partisan equity, but did not similarly observe the compactness requirements were also requested."

Yea, I think, I’m order to make close districts, they will have to look weird. And local dems didn’t care about how the maps looked when they drew them to benefit themselves.

[Vern]

I wonder if we hear something tomorrow or Wednesday about the maps.

[Vern]

So will we be getting new maps?

[Vern]

And it begins

I could see the map ending up looking something like this. This map is a 10-3-1 map.

[Vern]

So any word on when we should expect a new map?

[Vern]

Does anyone know when they are going to start the redraw?

[Vern]

Are new draft maps still expected next week?

As far as we know yes, but everything is being done behind closed doors, so who know what might happen.

[Vern]

So, I’m guessing we will get maps this week. Does anyone know what day?

[Vern]

I’m interested to see what district I am going to fall in now haha

[Vern]

Maps just dropped on the site
