Democrats offer redistricting proposals
As criticism on the Republican drawn Congressional, N.C. House and N.C. Senate maps flowed forward, Senate Redistricting Committee Chairman Bob Rucho pointed out that he would entertain alternatives, but the Democrats had failed to submit them.
Well, until now.
As the General Assembly engages in a floor debate on the Republican proposal, the Democrats are offering maps of their own.

- The Democrats are offering this map as an alternative to the Republican Congressional plan.
Among other key changes, they include Asheville in the 11th District, and Brad Milller and David Price would not be double-bunked in the 4th District.
You can find the maps here:
Democratic Caucus — "Senate Fair and Legal"
Democratic Caucus — "Possible Senate Districts"
Legislative Black Caucus — "Congressional Fair and Legal"

Thanks for posting this! Please correct your links if you get a chance--they're mismatched.
You should put the GOP map alongside the DEM map for comparison. That one district that the GOP put in there, not sure of the number, that ran about 10 miles each side of the Catawba River from south to north was the stuff of idiocy at its finest.
