This post will look at the demographics of America’s governors and compare them to the demographics of America itself. It will specifically examine gender and race, which are easy to determine. I would add other factors, such as income, age, or area of birth – but these factors are a lot harder to find and work with.
A future post will examine how political party plays into this.

This is the part of a series of posts examining how to create super-packed districts of one race. The other posts in this series pack Asians, blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans.
The Districts
The previous post stated that

Whites, on the other hand, compose a majority of America’s population, numbering more than three out of every five Americans.
This makes creating the whitest district possible an extremely difficult task.
