Is the drift here that it is not possible to create a 50% black VAP CD, but it is possible to create a 50% black + Hispanic + Asian CD, or some combo thereof, that arguably constitutes some kind of "community of interest" as defined by the Courts?

The Cape Cod CD has that little appendage all by itself near Boston on your map Muon2.  What is all of that about? What is the Obama percentage of that CD?  I assume that is the most GOP CD in your map.  Is that the case?

Looks like a solid 9-0 map. And cleaner than the current to boot.

You could draw lines at random and still get a 9-0 map.

If a non partisan judge drew the map, there would still be no competitive CD's in Mass?
