North Carolina Court Blocks Current Congressional District Map

A Superior Court issued a preliminary injunction against the current congressional map, citing it as an extreme partisan gerrymander favoring Republicans. The court urged the state's legislature to quickly redraw the map, with a deadline set for December 15th. If not redrawn, primary elections starting March 3rd may be delayed. Despite GOP dominance in congressional seats, the state's popular vote is evenly split. The injunction faced opposition from Republican defendants and representatives. The lawsuit is supported by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, led by Eric Holder, who hailed the injunction as a significant victory.
