Senate Redistricting Committee to Consider Competitive Remedial Congressional Map

Remedial map includes four highly competitive districts that are likely to be the most competitive in the nation 

Raleigh, N.C. – The Senate Redistricting Committee will consider a competitive remedial Congressional map during its meeting this morning.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R-Burke), said, "While Democrat-run states like New York and Illinois are further entrenching their political power, this remedial map reflects North Carolina's voters and political landscape, not a predetermined partisan outcome. In doing so, our state will have what we believe to be four of the most competitive districts in the nation. That's a far cry from redistricting efforts we've seen in recent months in those blue states. The remedial Congressional map fully complies with the court's order and scores well on mandated tests."

The remedial Congressional map has a mean-median score of approximately -0.61%. The mean-median score is well within the court's proposed standard of plus or minus 1.0%. The efficiency gap is approximately -5.3%, which is well within the court's requirement of plus or minus 7.0%.
