In massive victories for Republicans, the North Carolina Supreme Court on
Friday threw out a previous ruling against gerrymandered voting maps and
upheld a photo voter identification law that colleagues had struck down as
racially biased.
The rulings likely give the GOP-controlled legislature the ability to
rework the state's congressional map for next year's election to help
Republicans gain seats in the narrowly divided U.S. House. Under the
previous map, Democrats won seven of the state's 14 congressional seats
last November.
The new edition of the court, which became a Republican majority this year
following the election of two GOP justices, ruled after taking the unusual
step of revisiting opinions made in December by the court's previous
iteration, when Democrats held a 4-3 seat advantage. The court held
rehearings in March.
Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, said the justices "followed marching orders
of the Republican legislature by declaring open season for their extreme
partisan gerrymandering" and were "destroying the court's reputation for
independence."
"Republican legislators wanted a partisan court that would issue partisan
opinions and that's exactly what this is," Cooper said in a statement.
Friday's 5-2 rulings also mean that state lawmakers should have greater
latitude in drawing General Assembly seat boundaries for the next decade,
and that a photo ID mandate approved by the GOP-controlled legislature in
late 2018 could be enforced in time for the 2024 elections.
In another court decision Friday along party lines, the justices
overturned a trial court decision on when the voting rights of convicted
felons can be restored. That means potentially tens of thousands of people
convicted of felonies will have to keep waiting to completed their
probation or parole or pay their fines to qualify to vote again.

North Carolina was one of the first states to use a non partisan commission to draw
district lines. Leave it to Republicans to reinstitute gerrymandering and pass voting
restrictions.

Courts do not a right to interfere in voting maps. That's the whole

Damn, you can't read.
" massive victories for Republicans, the North Carolina Supreme Court

education for you:
"“Our constitution expressly assigns the redistricting authority to
the General Assembly subject to explicit limitations in the text.
Those limitations do not address partisan gerrymandering. It is not
within the authority of this Court to amend the constitution to create
such limitations on a responsibility that is textually assigned to
another branch,” North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul
Newby, a Republican, wrote for the majority."

Why do you respond without reading the article. Here's some more
education for you:
"“Our constitution expressly assigns the redistricting authority to
