Today the demographic picture is a lot different. Now, nonwhite voters--collectively--represent a majority or near majority of some states. That district level analysis winds up making it harder to state the obvious about a racial gerrymander. — PolitiTweet.org

Take Texas: Non-Hispanic whites are 43% of the voting age pop. Whites are 51% in the median district on the Senate approved congressional map. That's vote dilution on its face. Using CVAP, white voters get to elect government of choice, even though it's contested — PolitiTweet.org
