Friendly reminder that North Carolina's Congressional districting map is ALREADY gerrymandered all to fuck and back and has been since 1997.

There are North Carolinian men and women who are of legal age to vote NOW who have never in their entire lives seen a free and fair election in their home state.

@Lana remember, all districting maps in the United States are gerrymandered. That is just the reality that we need to start with.

In fact, a lot of the legal mess in the US around this topic is that it is arguably legally required that they be gerrymandered. The federal VRA requires it.

The question is not whether it's gerrymandered, the question is how much and for what purpose and where the legal winds are blowing.
