Remember the brouhaha over the Republican-led redistricting last year? Much of Asheville’s been shifted from one congressional district to another (backstory here). Only West Asheville is now mostly in the “old” 11th District, while most of the city has been moved into the 10th. If you don’t live in West Asheville, you probably are in a new district this election.

Check here to find out if you’re in the 10th or the 11th.
