then he checked his work specifically with respect to guilford county, and he did treat guilford county differently, and he should have because it's the only covered jurisdiction in cd 12. he looked and is that i have the african-american community together. i don't have a problem. my friends on the other side want to take whatever quibbles are is about guilford county, it is uncontroverted here that with respect to every other part of the map, race wasn't taken into account at all. it's uncontroverted because nobody says he turned the political stuff off for guilford county. all they did is a cross check as a guilford county to make sure it wasn't a retrogression problem with the guilford county which is exactly what he should do by the way. but talk about theory similarities. it was guilford county and it was greensboro and cromartie ii, and what this court said in giving that direct evidence relatively minimal rate was to say if you look at the rest of that e-mail, the map drawer was very candid about taking race into account in drawing cd one and there's much less race involved in c

as to guilford county, several responses. it's all good to say they pulled in 75000 african-americans, they're all democrats as well. if you had no alternative map that shows there's a different way to do guilford county and bring in democrats and not african-americans and you would have something. just the fact that they brought in african-americans kids are trying to bring in democrats is about as interesting as the sum coming up in north carolina. everyone agrees agrees there's about a 90% correlation between race and partisan identity. there's also a very good reason that we did not make a section five defense week as this was not a case about guilford county. their theory is not that we did something the various to overly comply with section five, their theories that cd 12 was drawn as a majority minority district. >> they did present both theories. they said proposed findings in mccrory that they purposely included a substantial number of african-american residents of guilford county and cd 12, the intentional placement

they did a cross check to make sure there wasn't a retrogression problem with guilford county which is exactly what he should do by the way. with the court said getting that direct evidence relatively minimal weight was to say if you look at the rest of that e-mail, the map drawer was very candid about taking race into account drawing cd one and there was less reasonable so i didn't predominate. the similarities couldn't be more dead on with this case. the most you can get is taking into account some way that didn't make it to predominate in the same evidence here that if you can contrast the way the legislature proceeded it's virtually impossible to think that this was all a pretext. i understand why you want to search a little bit more when you have a legislature that comes up in these racial maps and they say greece had nothing to do with it, but when it repeatedly says we treated differently i would think you would want pretty substantial evidence before you second guess that conclusion. >> if i can enter evidence that he sits on the witness stand and says i have had a conversation

guilford county went from having 16 voting sites open the first week of early voting to just 1 this year. mccrory steadily signed a republican agenda into law. enacting abortion restrictions and restricting lgbt protections, the transgender bathroom bill that was so offensive to major corporations including paypal, pepsi and deutsche bank that boycotted the state. it's been a gop free for all. but north carolina can be viewed as a blueprint for all of america as republicans will control the house and the senate. that's thing 2 in 60 seconds. >>> since north carolina republicans won the general assembly in 2010 and the governor's mansion they've witnessed a gop agenda on steroids and extreme gerrymandering but there are two major pieces of news out of the tar heel state today roy cooper the democratic challenger to governor pat mckroery extended his lead to more than 10s this thos votes with six counties reporting. that matters because mccrory needs the margin to be below 10,000 for a statewide recount. cooper's campaign manager declared today game over. so looks like a democratic governo
