North Carolina judges granted a temporary injunction that blocks the state's current congressional map from being used in the 2020 elections
Washington A panel of three North Carolina judges on Monday granted a temporary injunction that blocks the state's current congressional map from being used in the 2020 elections, ruling that voters had a"substantial likelihood" of winning a lawsuit that contended Republicans had drawn districts with"partisan intent."
The injunction was granted because the judges -- Paul Ridgeway, Alma Hinton and Joseph Crosswhite -- said that"there is a substantial likelihood that plaintiffs will prevail on the merits of this action by showing beyond a reasonable doubt that the 2016 congressional districts are extreme partisan gerrymanders" in violation of the North Carolina Constitution, the ruling said.
