Take NC, for example. Back in 1992, it took a snakelike district stretching from Charlotte to Durham to elect a Black candidate. Today, a district entirely within Mecklenburg Co. - #NC12 - comfortably elects a Black candidate of choice. — PolitiTweet.org

And, contrary to the situation 20-30 years ago, I'd argue rules like these would not only rein in the most extreme gerrymandering but would be *increase* minority opportunities to win congressional seats... — PolitiTweet.org

Today, consider Cincinnati. In the current GOP map, Hamilton Co. is split in two, diluting Black votes. If Ohio were forced to draw a district entirely within Hamilton Co. (which is possible!), it would virtually guarantee a new opportunity for a minority candidate. — PolitiTweet.org
