1. If it passes the full Senate & House, won't Gov. Josh Stein (Dem) veto it?

2. I could be wrong but I'm not sure this is a bill that the governor has power to veto.

I welcome anyone more knowledgeable in NC governance to correct me here.

If it can be vetoed, the legislature needs 60% in each house to override the veto.

3. He can't. The legislature took that power away from the governor.

The Republican-controlled NC state legislature seized full control of NC elections.

6. Damn... I've never read the NC constitution (obviously) but how can that pass muster?

8. The Republicans keep taking more power here.

They are one vote shy of a super majority and they've got the state so gerrymandered it's basically not a democracy anymore.

I wish them ill.

9. With the right state Supreme Court, it wouldn't.

But once Republicans gained the majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court, they let this happen.

4. So how many D states other than California are gerrymandering?

9 Magat states are planning to gerrymander and if, er, when the Supreme Court guts the Civil Rights Act, Magats will gain an addition 19 House seats.

GOTV.

5. NC is a state where even a black republican candidate can openly admit to being a Nazi.*

*Google: Mark Robinson.

Republicans are destroying NC. The White Supremacist Court of the United States (WSCOTUS) is leading the charge. Dem governor Josh Stein has had his powers diminished by the racist maga legislation of the state.

7. The Governor here can't veto redistricting

ironically due to a bill authored by former Governor, then state senator, Cooper.
