Texas' real-life redistricting, as we all know, has left something to be desired. Communities are divided, the VRA is mostly disregarded, and competitiveness is unheard of. I've tried to remedy these problems with this latest CD map.

This map tries to follow criteria similar to those used by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, as I feel it's one of the better systems. My goals were as follows:

1. Adherence to the VRA
2. Following of COIs
3. Creation of competitive districts where possible

Without further ado, the modified map!
