U.S. top court tosses Republican-drawn North Carolina voting districts https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-voters-idUSKBN18I1SG?il=0

Good. NC needs to get its head in the game and forget about all this good ol boy, antebellum push nonsense.

Roy Cooper called a special session to redraw the maps

https://governor-new.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/documents/files/Extra%20Session%20of%20the%20NC%20General%20Assembly.pdf

This seems to be for the legislative districts, or is it calling for the congressional map to be redrawn as well?
The legislature cancelled the special session, determining that the governor's purported order was unconstitutional.

From what I can tell, the legislature doesn't have the authority by the NC constitution to cancel a governor's special session request.

Send in the Guard. This NC nonsense is getting frivolous and anti-American by the day. It's not the first time this country has had to deal with southern rebels.

Have the courts draw the lines and if they are rebuffed or refused, send in the Guard to uphold them during a GE. The NC state house and Senate have gone rogue/full Confederate at this point.

^^^ @Virginia because they are neo-confederates with power. Va has some of those but not on the same level as NC.
