web page is not very user friendly. Took me a few tries to find this link

http://ncsbe.azurewebsites.net/Elections/Election-Information

and get the info about the Congressional districts (and NC Supreme Court ballot) for the primary June 7th.

You can put in your address to find your proposed district and also compare to the districts of 2011 (after they were gerrymandered by Republicans)
and what they were 10 years earlier in 2001.
