Conservative Brief: The North Carolina Supreme Court has issued an explosive ruling to allow Republicans in the state to redraw congressional lines in a way that will heavily favor the GOP.
Republicans could potentially pick up four more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives after North Carolina’s state Supreme Court ruled in its favor, Politico reported.
“The current map, which was installed after the state Supreme Court struck down a legislature-passed map, could lead to the Republicans picking up as many as four House seats in 2024. The state Supreme Court now holds a conservative majority after elections last fall, and the court recently agreed to revisit its prior decision,” the Washington Examiner previously reported.
“North Carolina’s 14 House seats are currently evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, but the previously enacted map, struck down by the court, would have likely set up the GOP with as many as 11 seats. One expert told Reuters it would not be a surprise if the old map was reinstated instead of an entirely new map being formulated. Early projections for the 2024 House races from the Cook Political Report show the GOP with an advantage, with the likely installation of new Republican-friendly maps in North Carolina and Ohio playing a role in the early projection. Republicans currently hold a narrow 221-212 majority in the House of Representatives after taking back control of the chamber in 2022 despite underperforming in most key races nationwide,” the outlet added in its report from February.

I was wondering what was going on. The state media headlines that pip up on Google on my phone said NC Supreme Court okayed gerrymandering.
Ha ha!
We’ve been talking about moving either to NH or NC.
Maine is CA now and getting worse.
NC, gerrymandering, moonshine & mass shootings. Over 540 mass shootings in North Carolina. Republicans just love killing off their constitutes.
@ Erickson: OK Doomer. If democrats were removed from the gun crime statisics the US would be below many European countries. I bet you can’t even name the last time a right wing MAGA type was involved in a mass shooting so STFU.
^^^^Smart guy, NC is a “Red” state. I’m talking about ONE STATE, NC. Personally don’t give a rats ass about the EU. So many in over 540 mass shootings in the red state of NC were maga, all were most likely republicans.
