🔥 North Carolina Is Latest GOP-Controlled State To Announce a Gerrymander [View all]

North Carolina became the latest GOP-controlled state to announce it will gerrymander its congressional map to please President Donald Trump.
Legislative leaders formally scheduled a vote for next week to redraw the state’s U.S. House districts — an extreme, mid-decade power grab aimed at cementing the GOP’s edge in Congress.
The move follows Trump’s call for red-state legislatures to “fix” congressional maps before 2026, a message embraced by Republican leaders from Texas to Missouri who have already enacted their own gerrymanders.
Under its most recent map, passed in 2023, North Carolina’s House delegation retains a 10-4 Republican majority, even though the state is closely divided between Republicans and Democrats. Now, GOP leaders want to go even further, targeting congressional District 1, a Democratic-held, majority-minority district that could flip under GOP line changes.
