Are you saying district 12 created by the demos in the 90's wasn'tDistrict 12 was drawn up by democrats in the 90's moistly blacks in that district looks like as drunk man tried to make a road and failed1,10, and 12 districts were created by Democrats.
This is not accurate. The districts were redrawn to include more democratic voters in 2010. Their Cook index scores all moved quite significantly further into the Democrat's column. The surrounding districts all became much less competitive and safer for Republicans.
The 2nd NC district is a prime example of this. In the 2010 GOP wave election the district "barely" went for the GOP's candidate (Ellmers), in 2012 it was much more safe despite being a much more friendly year for Democrats.
2nd District PVI ratings:
- 2012: 40D / 60R
- 2010: 49D / 51R
Also it's not just the three blue districts that make it gerrymandered, it's also how the other districts are drawn that crack democrat voters as well.
That district helps Republicans win other districts, why would it be gerrymandered by the Dems?
