US House Redistricting: Arkansas

[Brittain33]

I think it's premature to talk about districts in Arkansas trending hard toward the GOP given that if Hillary Clinton had been the nominee, she'd have won handily.

How much more Dem does AR-1 become?

County splits are allowed, I think--it's just tradition that they haven't done so.

I'm thinking that city Dems and Delta Dems just don't want to share a district and that's what's going to keep them from drawing a district one of them can win.

Almost no one in Fayetteville really cares about this issue.

The Tolbert Poll says that they do care and hate the plan. 

It's a poll by a conservative group with an interest in holding off this map and the premise is that you're asking people their opinions. Generally people have no idea what their maps look like or who their representative is. It's a major uphill battle to get people to care about this process stuff.
