I’m surprised to say this, but the new map looks like it will successfully withstand judicial scrutiny.

I'm surprised they could do that with a Dem governor. Do the Rs have a super majority?

No — in North Carolina, the Governor is not allowed to veto redistricting maps.

Good ….
Now if the SCOTUS nullifies the racist elements in Section 2 of the Voter Rights Act, Democrats might be without power for a generation. Pray for SCOTUS to help save our Nation from enemies within.

"Gov. Josh Stein, D-N.C., does not have the authority to veto redistricting legislation, according to CNN."

And these enemies have overreached with the assassination of CK. They had been leading up to it anyway with all the new pushback against their insane agendas. Every day brought us some new outrage, some new sickness, some new perversion of our foundations. They have ended up hurting themselves more than the GOP ever could. We are going to need another generation to eradicate the rot that the prog filth represents, though. They have been embedding themselves here for at least the last 65-70 years.

Yes, someone mentioned that earlier in the thread.
