Hofeller’s maps did not just use race data, they depended on it. He tracked thousands of Black students at North Carolina A&T State U by race, age, and voting status, then split the campus in half so their votes would be divided between two Republican-controlled districts.

It started with Thomas Hofeller, the GOP’s redistricting mastermind. When he died in 2018, he left behind 70,000 files showing exactly how Republicans used race data to redraw maps and entrench their power for decades. His files were the blueprint for modern racial gerrymandering.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!
