EXHIBIT a EXPERT REPORT of JOWEI CHEN, Ph.D
EXHIBIT A EXPERT REPORT OF JOWEI CHEN, Ph.D. September 27, 2019 Plaintiffs' counsel asked me to analyze the House Bill 1020 (S.L. 2019-220) House Districting Plan (hereinafter: "HB 1020 Plan") and the Senate Bill 692 (S.L. 2019-219) Senate Districting Plan (hereinafter: "SB 692 Plan"), as passed by the North Carolina General Assembly on September 19, 2019 and filed with the Court on September 19, 2019. Plaintiffs' counsel also asked me to analyze the individual House districts within five county groupings in the HB 1020 House Plan: 1) Columbus-Pender-Robeson; 2) Forsyth-Yadkin; 3) Cleveland-Gaston; 4) Brunswick-New Hanover; and 5) Guilford. For these five House county groupings, plaintiffs' counsel asked me to conduct a new set of computer-simulated plans (hereinafter: "Simulation Set 3"), producing 1,000 plans for each of the county grouping. Simulation Set 3 follows the same criteria as Simulation Set 2 from my April 8, 2019 expert report, except that the Simulation Set 3 algorithm intentionally avoids pairing the House incumbents currently in office as of this report, rather than incumbents from earlier years. Aside from avoiding the pairing of the 2019 House incumbents, Simulation Set 3 follows exactly the same non-partisan redistricting criteria as House Simulation Set 2. I made no changes to my computer code used to generate Simulation Set 2 other than changing the home addresses of the incumbents. Finally, within each of these five House county groupings, plaintiffs' counsel asked me to examine how individual House districts were altered from the House Base Map chosen using a lottery machine on September 11, 2019 (hereinafter: the "Base Map") to the final HB 1020 Plan filed with the Court on September 19, 2019.

In the Legislature
In the Legislature Second-Term Republicans Gain in New Effectiveness Rankings By Paige Worsham and Ran Coble ith a supermajority in the state legislature, Republicans claimed the top 15 spots in both houses in the rankings of legislators’ effectiveness by the N.C. Center for Public Policy Research. President Pro Tem of the WSenate Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) and Speaker of the House Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) top the rankings for the second time in a row. The biennial rankings are a mirror of what happens in the legislature and who makes it happen. Over the years, the key factors in a higher effectiveness ranking are being in the majority party, how long the legislator has served, being chair of a com- mittee, and their personal skills in moving legislation. In the 2013–2014 legislative session, Republicans hold a supermajority in both the Senate (33–17) and the House of Representatives (77–43). This follows a shift in control from a Democratic majority in 2010 to Republican control in 2011. By 2014, 97 (57%) of the current 170 legislators were not in the legislature just four years ago. Sen. Phil Berger President Pro Tem Second-Term Republicans Make Big Gains of the Senate Republicans who were first elected in 2010 and who are serving their second term Phil Berger in 2013–2014 made big gains in the rankings this year. Second-term Republicans in (R-Rockingham) the 50-member Senate jumped an average of 11 spots in the rankings, while second- and Speaker term Republicans in the 120-member House went up an average of 27 places.
