Judges Uphold NC's Gerrymandered Map, Favoring Republicans

A panel of federal judges has decided not to block North Carolinas new congressional map, drawn by Republicans, from being used in upcoming elections. The map, expected to favor Republican candidates, will go into effect despite arguments that it unfairly targets voters. The judges, all appointed by Republican presidents, sided with Republican lawmakers in a fifty-seven-page order. The map specifically targets the First Congressional District, currently held by a Democrat, by significantly lowering its racial-minority population. Any appeal of this ruling would go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered. Hosted on Acast.
