That today's NC Republicans are able to draw a more effective AND better-looking partisan gerrymanders than '90s NC Democrats isn't a testament to tech. Voters' self-sorting since '90s has made it *much* easier to draw lopsided districts. — PolitiTweet.org

This isn't to say NC's current GOP-drawn map isn't a case of extreme gerrymandering. But as a fellow redistricting geek, I think you owe it to your (understandably outraged) followers to be up front about the imagery you're using. — PolitiTweet.org

@Redistrict How many seats would the GOP have won if they received 54% of the vote with the same map? I suspect a lot more than 54% of them.

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
My hunch: extreme partisan gerrymanders will be less prevalent in 2021 than 2011, whether or not SCOTUS sets limits (which I’d bet against, btw). Why? 1) new commissions in MI, CO, OH, UT, etc. 2) heightened public scrutiny 3) more divided state control = more court-drawn maps — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
And by putting so many of their eggs in the collusion basket, Dems have given Trump a broad avenue to claim “witch hunt!” in any number of very *real* & potential scandals: campaign finance, business dealings, personal email use, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller’s key finding supports what many of us who interacted with the 2016 Trump campaign suspected: it was likely too inept to successfully collude with anyone or anything. — PolitiTweet.org

If I could add to @Nate_Cohn’s TX opus: a big part of Dems’ upside there is that Rs have pretty much maxed out their %s of rural whites, while Dems have more room to grow w/ college whites and continue to benefit from growing Asian/Hispanic population. https://t.co/UetOhuXDJW — PolitiTweet.org

The @AP's analysis also fails to mention that there were several places where GOP gerrymanders *backfired* in 2018 - e.g. Michigan, where two thinly-drawn suburban Detroit seats fell to Dems. — PolitiTweet.org
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict
I'd take the under on a 16-seat gerrymandering "bonus" for Rs in 2018 (I'm more in the 8-10 seat range). As usual, the @AP's analysis here fails to adequately distinguish between gerrymandering & natural geographic advantages. https://t.co/5ccwZKvp31 — PolitiTweet.org
