North Carolina's gerrymandering history
The idea that California caused North Carolina's gerrymandering is a misrepresentation of a much longer history of partisan map-drawing in North Carolina.
The state has one of the country's most extreme histories of gerrymandering, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
In 2022, after the state Supreme Court struck down a previous gerrymander, a court-drawn map led to an even 7–7 split in the congressional delegation.
However, after the state court's composition changed in 2023, the new majority reversed the previous ruling, paving the way for Republicans to pass a new map.
That 2023 map helped Republicans gain three seats in the 2024 election, giving them a 10–4 advantage and contributing to their current slim majority in the U.S. House.
