The North Carolina Senate passed a bill on October 21st that would introduce new district maps for U.S. House elections, likely turning long-held Democratic districts into Republican-leaning ones.
Senate Bill 249, which would change the boundaries of North Carolina’s 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts (both located in the eastern part of the state), passed the Senate on a 26-20 vote along party lines. The bill will now be sent to the Republican-led state House of Representatives, where it is expected to pass.
