Former Democratic Rep. Tricia Cotham will receive a 25-point swing in her favor because of Republican gerrymandering.

Newly redrawn legislative boundaries designed by GOP lawmakers for next year’s elections, introduced last week, will benefit Cotham, who likely wouldn’t have received the same outcome had she remained in office as a Democrat. To be sure, Republicans haven’t just focused on Cotham’s district — an analysis from Duke University finds that, based on, both chambers of the state legislature will likely be won by Republicans again in 2024, based solely on how the voting blocs are redistributed.
