Not from the Onion: North Carolina used a lottery machine to help redraw house and senate districts

Here's one take: "Instead of Fixing Their Gerrymander, North Carolina Republicans Are Trolling the Court"

And another: "The private legal team for GOP lawmakers threw a wrench into North Carolina’s new redistricting process late Monday, when they appeared to improperly share sensitive information with lawmakers and legislative staffers."

Almost every sentence of The NY Times Pinkerton story is absolutely insane but this section is fucked.

80% of all Fortune 1,000 companies have a secret Pinkerton agent pretending to be a normal employee and reporting back intel.https://t.co/23TsE29Pwm pic.twitter.com/auxBiDhiOi

But how did eugenics take hold again, great auntie Julia?

Well, little unicorn child, centrists enamored of their ability to argue without commitment and titilated by being “controversial” decided that the equal humanity of people of color was worth debating

New York State gerrymandered a map to qualify Hudson Yards for $1.6 billion in financing meant for low-income areas—by threading it to public housing in Harlem. (@CityLab obtained the map info through FOIA.) https://t.co/DD5CkFBcUi pic.twitter.com/OQ6PiVEqm4

*More nightmares.

"Senate map gerrymandered [to include] senator’s house"

FO:

The committee, including Clark, voted unanimously to add a wedged-shaped peninsula to Senate 21 that runs nearly 5 miles along N.C. 24 from the Cape Fear River to Baywood Road east of Interstate 95. This includes Clark’s new house near the Interstate 95 interchange at N.C. 24.
