The News & Observer: League of Women Voters challenges NC congressional districts as partisan gerrymanders
“When it comes to congressional districts, North Carolina’s are an extreme and egregious partisan gerrymander. Packing and cracking voters in districts based on their political ideology and voting history classifies voters in an invidious manner unrelated to any legitimate legislative objective,” Gerry Hebert, executive director of the Campaign Legal Center and one of the attorneys representing the challengers, said in a statement distributed by the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
