Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostIT gave a more ballanced representation approved by the courts. The previous Republican redistricting in both states isolated black representation in only a few districts, and rejected by the courts.That's what

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostNo it didn't, obviously. The numbers bear that out. More Republicans voted than Dems. So why are there more Dem representatives now?
In both North Carolina and Virginia many districts remain 70-90% white Republicans. In North Carolina more Democrats voted, but the State Legislature is still controled by Republicans,Last edited by shunyadragon; 11-08-2019, 06:38 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostThe facts are facts that the Republicans in North Carolina and Virginia lumped most blacks in a few districts to preserve Republican white districts, and the courts rejected this gerrymandered districts. The number of districts are not relevant. One factor is that increased population over time has resulted in more district in all states where there are population increases, and the population has significantly increased in Virginia.

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostWorthy of note the governor elected for the whole state was a Democrat.
Disproportionate gerrymandering is the issue.
Republicans vote at a higher percentage as Democrats, which is unfortunate,
but which is the case in many districts in the state which are 70-90% Republican particularly in Western Virginia.That's what
