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

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

Bottom line: the nation's voting patterns have evolved in such a way that the goals of 1) curbing gerrymandering and 2) preserving/enhancing minority opportunities are no longer in that much tension. At the moment, it presents a strong opportunity for Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
