RALEIGH, N.C. - North Carolina’s state legislative districts were unconstitutionally gerrymandered to entrench Republicans in power and must be thrown out, a lawyer for state Democrats and a good-government advocacy group told a panel of judges on Monday.
But a lawyer for Republican legislative leaders, Phillip Strach, said the plaintiffs were seeking to use “judicial fiat” to sidestep the electoral and legislative processes. But the decision does not prevent state courts from taking up the issue based on state constitutions. Last year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down that state’s congressional map, which had allowed Republicans to dominate despite Pennsylvania’s status as an evenly divided swing state.
Despite losing the statewide popular vote, Republicans won a majority of seats in both the state House of Representatives and the state Senate last year.
