redistricting

North Carolina Republican legislative leaders say they will vote next week on redrawing the state’s U.S. House district map, with the likely aim of securing another GOP seat within already right-leaning boundaries.

A measure on the ballot in 2024 included a mixture of district and at-large seats. Voters overwhelmingly approved it. But the legislature passed a bill keeping the measure from taking effect until 2034.

North Carolina’s 14 congressional districts are equally divided between Democrats and Republicans. But that will change under new maps approved by the GOP-led legislature last year. Among those seats almost certain to flip is the Triad’s 6th District.
