Any maps for Governor Cooper? Wink

I’m assuming this goes to the 4th Circuit first before SCOTUS, which has binding precedent over VA, WV, NC, and SC as well as MD. Last time I checked, Maryland is not the only one of those states that is visciously gerrymandered. Ultimately, this should go to SCOTUS anyway. If there is going to be a constitutional claim against partisan gerrymandering, it should apply to all 50 states. In spite of MD, I do hope we can get a broad ruling. With the current composition of the Court, I’m not optimistic.

The governor in North Carolina has no responsibility for redistricting. He can't even call the legislature into special session by himself.

This is what I would recommend for the legislature.




Cooper has as much power as Hogan, which is to say none. Your map is a blatant gerrymander.

I’d love to see how SCOTUS rules against MD as a partisan gerrymander while leaving states like NC intact
