Judges Agree: Voters Don't Need Fair Maps in North Carolina
A three-judge panel just permitted North Carolina Republicans to implement new congressional districts designed to rig elections for years. This isn't just 'GOP-friendly'; it's a brazen power grab, overturning previous judicial resistance to partisan gerrymandering. Remember the 2017 ruling that invalidated maps as an 'unconstitutional partisan gerrymander'? Apparently, some constitutions are more
malleable than others. This decision, delivered just weeks before the primary filing deadline, ensures that instead of voters choosing their representatives, representatives are choosing their voters. It's a textbook case of how legal systems can bless anti-democratic tactics, repackaging partisan manipulation as legitimate governance. Democracy, redefined by those who fear its true expression.
