North Carolina Supreme Court
The newly-formed majority court, which gives Republicans a 5-2 advantage in its decision-making, on Tuesday heard arguments that could determine how state legislators create electoral districts that could help lock in their political power. The Democrat-majority court pointed to evidence that showed maps approved by the General Assembly in fall 2021 made it nearly impossible for Democrats to win majorities in the state legislature or Congress, even though the state is marked by closely divided statewide elections.
The arguments marked the first of two days of rehearings for the justices. The same Republican majority also ordered a hearing for Wednesday on another 4-3 decision in December that upheld a trial court decision striking down a 2018 voter photo ID law.
