Thanks for the ping. I am hopeing Jenkins plan is an improvement. The senate plan is pretty clean. It appears the split up house plan still groups minority districts. Curious if this is a benefit to the minority community. Their was a time when the R's and the Minoritiy districts were aligned to correct the maps.

Hey blackbag,

I'm just getting back to FR after being away for a few days... I took a vacation day on Monday.
It was GREAT!

I think that the reason that the house plan is still gerrymandered is due to US Dept of Justice rules & the Voting Rights Act.
I heard that Jenkins said that his maps still complied with the districts that the DoJ had previously approved.
