US House Redistricting: North Carolina

I hate the snake and the elongated C-districts. I cannot see why in the world for the life of me that such districts are permitted (Petty partisanship aside).

Charlotte belongs by itself. The Triad should be linked together, although if you have to split it then Winston gets axed in favor of Burlington unless you want to link Burlington to Chapel Hill-Durham. Triangle would need 2 seats; logic would say Raleigh/Cary opposed to Durham/Chapel Hill. Fayetteville and Wilmington would split. After that, it would be a fairly easy geographical grouping.

That is one heck of a 4th district.

Asheville (and to a lesser extent, Boone) are the only places of Dem support in the mountains. There is a sizeable white dem sink in Asheville, a tiny dot in a sea of white GOP support.
