Follow up data re Gerrymandering in NC


I found the results for the 2018 elections in NC. For the House of Representatives, one of the seats was uncontested (Republican Walter Jones) so his vote count was no included in the results I found. (Also, it would really distort the results to include the votes of one candidate where there was no opponent in the general election.)

North Carolina has 13 seats in the House of Representatives. For the 12 contested races, the Republicans received 1.658,140 votes and the Democrats received 1,771,106 votes. Through the power of Gerrymandering, the GOP won in 9 of the 12 races.

For the 2020 elections, it was slightly better due to a court decision, so the GOP holds only 9 or the 13 seats. (I haven't seen the final vote count for each seat yet.)
