Court finds North Carolina’s congressional map unconstitutional

A North Carolina federal court on Tuesday struck down the state's congressional map, finding that it's partisan and violates the U.S. constitution.

Why it matters: This comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is currently reviewing a gerrymandering case in Wisconsin that could, for the first time, alter how maps are created and implement a concrete legal standard for determining when redistricting is infected with political bias.

I live in Charlotte, a blue city in a red state. The Democreeps have gerrymandered the democrat enclaves for decades. Hell, I even have a damn Commiecrat as a Representative. It'll change though.

Such is the right’s fear and contempt of the democratic process.

No big surprise. Both parties have practiced such unconstitutional gerrymandering on large scales. Both parties are crooked enough to only want power for themselves and to hell with the people.

The term for the process, gerrymander, came about when the process was first used in Massachusets in 1812 by the Democratic-Republican party. Not much has changed in 106 years.

gerrymandering was cool when Dems were winning, now they hate it
