I just realized it's possible to make the 7th into a Hispanic-opportunity district. Don't think it's mandated VRA though, as the Hispanic population, while constituting a plurality, is still only 34% of the population.

Also a pretty high Asian population (relatively speaking).

Rs don't hesitate to draw this sort of map.

Meanwhile, Ds get cold feet at the very thought of drawing Trump Tower into Elise Stefanik's district (despite the natural community of interest given the love fest of Stefanik and her rural constituents for Trump).

This is how minority rule perpetuates itself. Because Ds want to be ruled over by a minority of Rs.

So why did they give Bordeaux a safe seat but not McBath? I guess the Republican logic is that they don't like having a black woman represent a white traditionally Republican district like GA-06. Whereas at least Bordeaux is white, so from their perspective she is more tolerable. But if voters in GA-06 get too used to voting for McBath, next thing you know they'll be voting for Stacey Abrams as well, and can't have all those black women running around with so much power.

Everyones talking about Suburban Atlanta, but I'm curious about that 12th. Anyone got estimates on that?
