North Carolina’s gerrymandering trial in Raleigh continued for its second day on Tuesday, with plaintiffs calling witnesses who said the Republican-drawn congressional maps diminish the power of Black voters.
A gerrymandering expert hired by the League of Conservation Voters said a congressional map that favors Republicans in nine of 14 U.S. House seats from North Carolina would happen more than 70% of the time.
The public is getting multiple chances this week to tell North Carolina legislators what they think about U.S. House and General Assembly district boundary proposals that lawmakers have been drawing, including at a public hearing in Charlotte.
