GOP Redistricting Project in NC

The following article appeared in the December 26th post. It is of utmost importance to those of us who reside in North Carolina. Redistricting was done to gain a 4-3 GOP majority on the state Supreme Court, assuring rebuff of any challenge to redistricting.

Perhaps no other state was transformed as much as North Carolina. As ProPublica detailed, dark money groups affiliated with longtime Republican Party funder Art Pope, who ProPublica called “the most influential conservative donor in the state,” worked its magic.

Not only did Pope donate heavily to the GOP’s redistricting project, he threw a bundle of cash into the re-election campaign of Justice Paul Newby, which ultimately guaranteed that the 4-3 GOP majority on the state Supreme Court would continue, virtually assuring that any challenge to redistricting would be rebuffed.
