Nearly two out of five congressional districts have been redrawn for this November’s election, aimed at gaming the outcome. New maps in eight states have moved one out of three of voters in those states into new districts.
You can help thwart this goal. Gerrymanders are drawn to create safe wins, but if mapmakers cut it too close, the plan can backfire. That’s called a dummymander.

The team at Vote Maximizer uses hard data to identify potentially dummymandered districts in North Carolina. Four Republican-drawn districts are vulnerable: Districts 3, 7, 9, and 11.
Note that we have omitted NC-11, which is already very well funded. NC-11 is in the western part of the state, will be decided by get-out-the-vote activity. Get out there!
The voter power rating in these districts is 50 or higher, out of a possible 100. This rating quantifies how much swinging a few votes will affect the win probability.
Finally, Third Mountain Action is spreading Vote Maximizer’s data-driven approach far and wide. Give to us - recurring is better. Help us empower voters in 2026, and rebuild democracy and science in 2027 and beyond!
