NC Senate advances map plan that could give Republicans a 3-seat gain
[WRAL] With the November election drawing near, lawmakers in Raleigh have recently approved new redistricting maps for North Carolina's N.C. House, N.C. Senate, and Congressional districts. These maps, which have raised concerns among some citizens, are expected to secure a veto-proof majority for Republicans and favor them in 10 of the state's 14 Congressional Districts. Critics argue that the redistricting process exacerbates divisions and is unfair.
