- A panel of judges in North Carolina ruled on Monday that a new congressional map approved by lawmakers last month will be used for the state’s 2020 primaries, saying there was not enough time to determine whether it was a form of partisan gerrymandering.
The same three-judge Wake County Superior Court panel several weeks ago blocked the state from using a congressional map created in 2016 in next year’s elections, suggesting that map’s boundaries were gerrymandered to favor Republicans. “The net result is the grievous and flawed 2016 map has been replaced,” Judge Paul Ridgeway said during a hearing, the Charlotte Observer newspaper reported.
“It’s time now to stop the endless litigation and out-of-state lawyering around North Carolina’s redistricting process and let the people determine their congressional representatives,” they said.
