North Carolina GOP-controlled legislature approves congressional map
CNN
North Carolina's GOP-controlled state legislature on Thursday approved the state's new congressional maps, which have boundaries likely to give Republicans an advantage there for the next decade.
The state gained a 14th congressional seat after the 2020 census. Ten of the 14 seats will lean Republican, according to the non-partisan Princeton Gerrymandering Project. Republicans currently hold eight of 13 seats.
In North Carolina, the legislature is responsible for redistricting, and it doesn't need approval from the governor for the maps to become law. That means Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is unable to veto the maps.
