2012: North Carolina

Senate: None
Legislature: Republicans +15 (+29%)
State Senate: Republicans +11 (+55%)
House: Democrats 7 Republicans 6
Redistricting: Republicans

Democrats won the 7th, 8th, 11th, and 13th districts this year with 53-55% of the vote. This occurred despite a Democratic gerrymander. This time the Republicans draw the lines and they could easily draw 10 of the 13 districts that John McCain would’ve won. While Republicans will try to protect their seats in most states, they’ll draw for pick-ups here. There is no state with greater opportunity for Republican gains in 2012.
