if the supreme court strikes down the VRA...

Yes, that did it.



54.6% and 55.0% McCain 2pp, respectively. Also 55% and 65% Hispanic VAP, respectively.

And the next district after that combines Abilene, San Angelo and Laredo and anything not yet taken to the west, for 56.0% McCain and 59% Hispanic VAP. Nice.

I think I'll save this file and continue the project in the future. Not today though.

One of the Hispanic advocacy groups did propose a split somewhat like that of El Paso.  TX-16 would extend over to Odessa so another 90,000 El Pasoans would be in TX-23.  The Bexar County part of TX-23 would be 19% Black.

See C211 MALC Interim Congressional Plan.  TX-33 is also interesting.

Looking forward to seeing you continue this!

Also, lol at Culberson County there, less than 3k people but split between three districts.

I wanted to split off a few hundred people for better population balance, and those two rural precincts happened to fit the bill nicely (IIRC both districts are within 150 of ideal now) and vote heavily for Obama.

The precincts are:

   3-5

3-3 2 4

   1

2 and 1 are not contiguous, but 3-3 and 4 are.

I demand that 2 be moved to the purple district.

No comments?

It's a thing of twisted evil.

I particularly like the huge district linking parts of Hidalgo with, basically, nothing in particular.
