Meanwhile on #NCGA House Station 1 Rep. Hall's House map is being worked on - HBK-7 Image
Durham is being worked on - Durham people, how does this House map look to you so far? @bribrough ? Image
@bribrough Some changes made, the districts now look like this: Image
@bribrough Panning away this is what Durham and Orange Image
@bribrough Next is Buncombe. Interestingly, as I recall, Buncombe county commissioner seats must line up with NC House seats. Image
@bribrough How do #AVL and Buncombe people feel about these House districts? Image
@bribrough After this, the person at the terminal gets printouts of these two areas and leaves.
@bribrough They come back and these are the House districts drawn for Cumberland. Image
@bribrough Zoom out of this area Image
@bribrough Onslow and Duplin Image
@bribrough Adjusted and recolored Image
@bribrough Closer look at Onslow Image
@bribrough Onslow again. Image
@bribrough Wayne Image
@bribrough This whole area got blanked out in Hall's House map and he's starting over. Image
@bribrough Another Onslow Image
@bribrough A very different Wayne Image
@bribrough Changes made to Randolph and Chatham Image
@bribrough More changes to this area Image
@bribrough Durham gets cleared out and drawn again Image
@bribrough It looks like this has Durham's municipal boundaries overlaid Image
@bribrough Yet another version of Wayne Image
@bribrough Gaston and Cleveland Image
@bribrough Henderson Image
@bribrough Rutherford, Henderson, Polk Image
@bribrough With these two together you can see how that strange purple district goes all the way from Polk through the southern edge of Rutherford to Cleveland County. ImageImage
@bribrough Moving back to the Triangle Image
@bribrough Looks like Hall came back and did another different version of that Polk / Rutherford / Cleveland area Image
@bribrough Here's a good view of Gaston, Mecklenburg, and Cabarrus Image
@bribrough More detail on Mecklenburg ImageImage
@bribrough Apparently they haven't even put in all 13 districts, so now they're going to have to unassign some pieces of other districts to make room for it? The way they're going about this is wild. Image
@bribrough That little white bit marked "Unassigned" is where they're going to try to shoehorn in the district that was left out Image
@bribrough That didn't seem to work - so they're continuing to move things around Image
@bribrough So this happened Image
@bribrough They finally fit that 13th district in, so this is what we have - would love to hear from Meck / #CLT people about what they think! Image
@bribrough Hall says that this map actually contains some groupings that weren't what they wanted, and that this will be fixed tomorrow.
@bribrough Basically we've seen a bunch of different versions of different areas and tomorrow they plan to pick the ones they actually want and put them in the map. No doubt that's what all the print outs are in service of.
@bribrough So this seems to be where Hall is ending today with the House but not what will be in the final version exactly. ImageImage

Defendants get the criteria pulled up again.
Defendants are asking if one of Pegden's (millions) of maps could be less compact than the enacted map.
Pegden says that you could constrain compactness by saying that no district in your comparison maps could go below the score of the least compact district. But if you do that the comparison maps have worse compactness measures than the enacted map.

Looks like the #NCGA House Redistricting Committee meeting is about to get started, finally.
Rep. Hall says they are waiting on a number of amendments - another 10 minutes. Seems like there must have been a lot of intra-party negotiation in the past 3.5 hours.
Well, it's been 10 minutes... and it's nearly 6pm
