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/ob...

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/newsd...

My colleagues Ella Nilsen and Tara Golshan covered the North Carolina maps being thrown out by state courts: https://www.vox.com/policyandpoliti...

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/sta...
