3/3 Also, fwiw, @felt (the platform I used for the interactive map) makes it insanely easy to create a map like this.
2/3 I could only find shapefiles for the proposed State House and State Senate plans. If shapefiles for the proposed Congressional plans are online somewhere, please let me know the URL and I'll share them.
1/3 I'm on another continent and am on vacation, but I learned that the #NCGA hadn't posted interactive maps for the proposed #redistricting plans. Here's a map that will let you zoom in, pan around, etc. to inspect. #NCPol #FairMaps. felt.com/map/Proposed-N…
If the budget passes, it appears that lawmakers will have no obligation to share any drafts or materials that guided their decisions in drawing political maps. newsobserver.com/news/politics-…
@LaurenLeatherby Great visualizations!
@mcpli Indeed interesting. Source?
@mcpli (Though F and C are indeed close to each other on the keyboard.)
@mcpli Typo in final word? Wouldn't surprise me if it was auto-correct. =)

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: SCOTUS in 5-4 opinion by Chief Justice Roberts upholds ruling that Alabama must redraw congressional map to create second Black district. Opinion here: supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…
@chriscooperwcu I might argue that this piece of the thread is substantive! 🗺️🤓

A new proposal for collecting race and ethnicity data on federal surveys (including the Census) just dropped. Public comments are open for 75 days federalregister.gov/documents/2023…
@RedistrictNet One might argue that the wording of the question could lead to "no" responses from people who didn't pursue an American politics or political science degree. E.g., a math major who didn't study redistricting could have thought it was appropriate to respond in the negative.

Breaking-but-expected: Gov. Cooper vetoes the bill that would have moved the 2022 primary elections back from May to June Don't fill in your calendars in pen just yet, though. The Supreme Court could still change the election date (again) #ncpol #ncga newsobserver.com/news/politics-…
