Gerrymandering is the antithesis of democracy.

This is good news however it may be short-lived due to an incoming Republican majority on North Carolina’s Supreme Court and future SCOTUS decisions.

All elections matter. State-level judicial races aren’t as glamorous as some, but they certainly do impact your life. And in case someone tries to tell you “both parties are the same” today or any other day, they aren’t. #NorthCarolina #FairMaps #EndGerrymandering

North Carolina justices: State Senate map must be drawn again

The court's Democratic justices composed the majority. Those justices upheld the House plan drawn by the General Assembly and a congressional map that the same trial judge panel drew up. All three of these maps were used to conduct last month's elections.

@TonyStark There should be a Federal law abolishing #gerrymandering and establishing nonpartisan state commissions to decide districts. #EndGerrymandering

I second this. Gerrymandering enables extreme partisanship and rewards party-over-country ideology. It’s a threat to our democracy.
