Associated Press: “The court is set to hear arguments Wednesday in a case from North Carolina, where Republican efforts to draw congressional districts heavily in their favor were blocked by a Democratic majority on the state Supreme Court because the GOP map violated the state constitution.”
“A court-drawn map produced seven seats for each party in last month’s midterm elections in highly competitive North Carolina.”
“The question for the justices is whether the U.S. Constitution’s provision giving state legislatures the power to make the rules about the ‘times, places and manner’ of congressional elections cuts state courts out of the process.”
