AP: The North Carolina Senate’s redistricting committee has proposed two new maps for the state’s congressional districts. Both are significantly more favorable to Republicans. Currently the state’s congressional seats are split between the two parties. The proposed maps favor Republicans with either 10 or 11 of the 14 seats. Redistricting legislation approved by the General Assembly is not subject to a gubernatorial veto under North Carolina’s constitution. The State Supreme Court has also ruled that the constitution does not forbid partisan gerrymanders. North Carolina hopes to put new maps in place by the end of the month.
