Fair redistricting: Texas

Here's my map. I think it's the only one drawn that both preserves 4 VRA districts, and also has a 7R-6D split in PVI. (red for Democrat, blue for Republican)

Drawing to a target is unconstitutional. NC-4 is particularly suspect.

What do you mean "a target?" You mean drawing to create maj-min districts intentionally? I don't think there's any other map on here that has at least 3.

You can not assign persons to voting districts based on race.

It appears that you had a target (i.e. we need more black people in this district). You did not establish the three prongs of the Gingles test,  Your NC-4 is particularly problematic in the way you linked Durham and eastern Raleigh.

NC-9 you would have to show that minorities vote cohesively.

Also Republican members of the panel would likely vote against your map because of NC-7.

Isn't assigning people to a district based on race required to create VRA-mandated maj-min districts? Regardless, fair point. I think NC-4 failed Gingles, but otherwise the others come across as fair to me.

Holy Hispanic-pack Batman!

I’ve always thought that rule was stupid. Like in McAllen, if am emtire CD can fit in one county, so be it, the fajita strips from the border to SA are ridiculous anyway

also the current map’s san antonio / austin mess smh

there's a tool to find unassigned precincts, in the upper right hand tab. it'll hover over it for you, but u need to zoom in to see very small ones.
