New You think 90+% black is needed?
It's a SWAG on that percentage, but the idea was to remove black voters from surrounding districts.

I think Boehner's district is about 70% Repo. "Proper" redistricting maximizes the number of >51% districts for your party with sacrificial districts with huge majorities of the opposition.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov

New I don't disagree with you at all.
Mel's district is NC's "token" district. Can't have *those* people affecting real Tarheel districts. Did I mention the reasons I don't live there anymore recently? ;0)
