Dems be all mad.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — North Carolina’s state Supreme Court tossed out a previous ruling that found electoral maps drawn by Republican lawmakers were illegal because they were too partisan.

In a series of three separate rulings Friday that effectively were wins for the GOP, the Republican majority of the state’s high court also reinstated the state’s voter ID law and ended voting rights for some felons.

Most notably, it reversed the map-drawing decision previously made when the court was majority Democrat and found the electoral districts drawn by GOP members were illegal.


As best as i can tell the decision likely results in a net gain of three or four Republican seats in Congress.

This is a big freakin' deal!

This is correct ... political party affiliation is NOT a protected class under civil rights laws ... thus gerrymandering is legal for this purpose ...

Religion IS a protected class, therefore we can't gerrymander using that criteria ... does NC give out ID's or do the poor have to pay to vote? ... fine with felons not voting, I don't want their vote, ah hell no ...

Its just common sense- that libs are so sorely lacking- to ban Criminals from voting. Why do libs think that allowing dope pushers and child molesters to pick our nation's leaders is a good idea?

Is there that many drug dealers and child molesters in NC? ... maybe they spend too much time worrying about voting rights? ... that sounds like Oregon, our problem is inbreeding ...

Looks like the Repubs were stopped doing illegal vote rolls via gerrymandering.
