NC Supreme Court delivers big wins to GOP with election and gerrymandering rulings.
TL;DR Summary
The newly Republican-controlled North Carolina Supreme Court has handed the GOP significant victories by throwing out a previous ruling against gerrymandered voting maps and upholding a photo voter identification law that colleagues had struck down as racially biased. The rulings should make it easier for the Republican-dominated legislature to help the GOP gain seats in the narrowly divided U.S. House when state lawmakers redraw congressional boundaries for the 2024 elections. The decisions were made after the court became a Republican majority this year following the election of two GOP justices.
