Is it possible to draw a third Hispanic VRA district? Looks like using 2010 data you could get pretty close by sending your AZ-7 into Mesa and presumably the Hispanic population share has grown since then.

Three Latino VRA seats is indeed possible.

the most adversely affected area is the East Valley; the 5th is forced north, which has a domino effect that impacts every other majority-white Maricopa CD.

Thanks. Both the Maricopa Hispanic seats aren't quite majority by voting age population - though I imagine at least one would be by now. I know in Texas it's generally assumed you need considerably more than 50% to make it perform. Does the same hold true in Arizona, or are the turnout differentials lower?
