North Carolina's GOP just enacted a new congressional gerrymander to win an 11-3 GOP majority

North Carolina’s GOP just enacted a new congressional gerrymander to win an 11-3 GOP majority in a swing state by targeting Black Dem Don Davis.

They already gerrymandered a 10-4 edge in 2024 by replacing a fairer map that split 7-7 in 2022.

The North Carolina GOP’s 2024 gerrymander already targeted Don Davis (D), but he narrowly won while Trump won his 1st District by 3 points.

Their new 2026 gerrymander increases Trump’s margin to 12 points by removing even more Black voters, making it likely that a white Republican will defeat Davis

New NC Congressional maps are now official. House voted 66-48 just now to pass the new districts. Background: www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol #ncga

Currently, I live in NC and Don Davis, a Democrat, is my representative.

They could not beat him in the last election.

In the last election, airwaves were inundated with ads for a MAGA candidate endorsed by Trump.

This could impact Don Davis.
