Redistricting

The new map shifts eastern North Carolina counties between the state's 1st and 3rd Districts to give Republicans a clear advantage in both.

North Carolina no longer has any particularly competitive Congressional districts, thanks to the new map passed this week at President Donald Trump’s request.

The NC General Assembly approved the new Congressional map this week. It shifts the state's 1st Congressional District from a swing district to one where a Republican can more easily win.

The N.C. House of Representatives voted to approve the new map Wednesday. It redraws the state's 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts to give Republicans a clear advantage in both seats.

The Senate formally passed the new map Tuesday, and it started to make its way through the state House of Representatives.

North Carolina Republicans redrew district lines in eastern North Carolina with the intention of shifting the balance of the state's First Congressional District. It is the latest salvo in a national effort to render U.S. Congress elections uncompetitive.

The General Assembly plans to vote on the new map during its session next week.

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.

In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court said a partisan redistricting case out of North Carolina raised a political, nonjusticiable question for federal courts, leaving the issue to states, their laws and their court systems to manage.
