The North Carolina gerrymandering map is drawing heat statewide as critics accuse Republicans of carving up Black and Democratic communities to cement power ahead of 2026.
On Tuesday, the North Carolina Senate voted 26–20 along party lines to pass a brand-new congressional redistricting map that is screaming GERRYMANDERED.
The GOP wasted no time twisting district lines to make sure Democrats, especially Black voters, stay fighting uphill battles.
REPUBLICANS WANT AN 11–3 REPUBLICAN HOUSE SPLIT
This is a straight up power grab in plain sight. Republicans are scared, trying to avoid accountability and wants to stretch their current 10–4 U.S. House advantage into a near lock of 11–3 before the 2026 elections.
Their main target is Congressman Don Davis’s 1st District — a seat long known for its strong Black voter base and swing potential.
The GOP redrew those lines so tight it’s like they were tailoring it for Donald Trump himself.
Counties with strong Democratic turnout and large Black populations were magically snatched out and swapped with redder areas.
Republicans claim they didn’t use race — just “political data.” BS.
Since Governor Josh Stein (D) can’t veto redistricting bills in North Carolina, the GOP pretty much ran this play unbothered.
After the vote, Democrats and civil rights advocates lit Raleigh up. Groups called it “a racial and political heist” and “modern-day voter suppression.”
Beginning at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, the North Carolina House is scheduled to hold floor debate and votes on proposed congressional boundaries that, if approved, could make it harder for Democratic U.S. Rep. Don Davis, who represents more than 20 counties in northeastern North Carolina, to win reelection next year.
