the Willie Brown thread

[freepcrusher]

my challenge to you is in any given state you choose to redistrict try to draw a district that will be severely overpopulated by the end of the decade. Usually this is done to disadvantage a party different from your own but in most cases it is to screw the GOP. Willie Brown was notorious for trying to draw districts in CA that would not only be heavily overpopulated by decade's end but would already have high turnout to begin with.

Here's my shot at TX.

[Bacon King]

84.4% White
5.1% Black
6.0% Hispanic
3.4% Asian

73.2% McCain
25.6% Obama

It's the outer ring of Georgia's suburbs where white Republican voters are moving to. Basically, an updated version of this district:

[Miles]

I kinda aimed for clean districts.



Green: Raleigh proper, northern Wake, Johnston and Franklin.
55.8% Obama
43.2% McCain

Red: Durham, Chatham, southern Raleigh suburbs. I wold have put Chapel Hill here too, but its growth over the last decade was relatively slow.
60.1% Obama
38.9% McCain

Blue: A string of coastal counties that have experienced the most growth. Maybe the only seat here that could possibly trend R.
52.8% McCain
46.4% Obama

Purple: Cabarrus, Union, south Charlotte. Where I would live Almost 60% R average. Safe R, but trending D.
55.1% McCain
44.1% Obama

Salmon: Iredell and the rest of Mecklenburg.
Growth in Greater Charlotte is concentrated in the east and north of Mecklenburg county. This is district basically address the north where the purple one takes the east. 'Resembles the 9th from the 1980s.
62.0% Obama
37.3% McCain
