When Republican mapmaker Thomas Hofeller died in 2018, we learned exactly how far Republicans were willing to go to gerrymander political districts — and rig elections to give themselves majorities in statehouses and Congress.

Here's Hofeller's obituary from 2018, before his files were released: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/21/obituaries/thomas-hofeller-republican-master-of-political-maps-dies-at-75.html

And here's David Daley — one of the leading experts on gerrymandering — writing about Hofeller's files, which show the intent behind the maps he drew: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-secret-files-of-the-master-of-modern-republican-gerrymandering

My colleagues Ella Nilsen and Tara Golshan covered the North Carolina maps being thrown out by state courts: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/9/3/20848087/north-carolina-court-republican-gerrymander-state-legislature-map

Lastly, here's footage of the maps being redrawn on a livestream — and one Republican state senator getting caught trying to gerrymander more Republicans into his district: https://twitter.com/johnbisognano/status/1171950792196141056?lang=en
