With a new congressional map approved, North Carolina Republicans may have found a map that will stick — and potentially decide control of the House next year.
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court issued a surprise ruling that the Voting Rights Act does, in fact, still safeguard against racial gerrymandering. That’s already had a profound impact in the South, as Alabama and Georgia have now been ordered to redraw their congressional maps before the 2024 election. And then there’s North Carolina. North Carolina Republicans are probably the nation’s most dedicated gerrymanderers.
Alabama has been ordered to draw at least one more majority Black congressional district, while Georgia’s redrawn maps will likely add at least one more Democrat-friendly congressional seat and potentially revamp the state Legislature as well. But that means that North Carolina Democrats will need to prove racial bias in the new map, rather than just a partisan one. Given Republicans’ track record in the state, that may sound like a relatively easy task.
