NC Lawmakers Approve Maps Creating Gains For The GOP In Congress
Date postedNovember 1, 2023
North Carolina Republicans gave final approval Wednesday to new political districts that are likely to hand the party more seats in Congress next year.
The state's Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, does not have the power to veto the districts drawn by the legislature's GOP majority.
The new map divvies up the state's 14 congressional districts into 10 districts that favor Republicans, three that favor Democrats and one that is considered competitive between the two major parties, according to analysts.
