Gerrymandering

Can Republicans give themselves an extra Congressional seat in North Carolina without running the risk of making a safe GOP seat more competitive for Democrats?

N.C. Senate leader Phil Berger said Thursday that the legislature might redraw the state's Congressional districts in response to partisan gerrymandering efforts in other states.

While NC is an unlikely target for more gerrymandering before the 2026elections, the state’s redistricting battles helped set it in motion.

A federal district court judge heard arguments in a lawsuit challenging a Republican-drawn map for North Carolina's state senate districts.

State House Speaker Tim Moore filed to run for the 14th Congressional District seat in 2024. The district is one of four that a federal lawsuit claims was racially gerrymandered by Republican lawmakers.

North Carolina legislators are once again mapping the state’s congressional and General Assembly districts.

In North Carolina, the legislature is expected to pass an elections bill that will take power from the state's Democratic governor.

Republicans in North Carolina and Democrats in New York are preparing to redraw political maps. The resulting boundaries could yield off-setting results in the 2024 Congressional elections.

Experts say four Democratic incumbents are vulnerable when state legislators draw a new map later this year. The state’s highest court in late April threw out a 2022 Democratic ruling against partisan gerrymandering.

Gov. Roy Cooper picked the five members from nominees provided by the state Democratic and Republican parties. The panel is tasked with helping implement a photo voter ID law and administering 2024 elections for president, governor and a host of other positions.
