Democrats can retake North Carolina’s Supreme Court in 2028 if they win 4 of 5 races by then: 1 Dem is up in 2024, another in 2026, & 3 Rs in 2028. But if the GOP extends current terms from 8 to 12 years, no GOP justices would face voters again until 2032, enabling more years of GOP gerrymandering

Gerrymandering gave the GOP the exact number of members needed to amend North Carolina's constitution.
One proposal would ensure GOP can gerrymander after the 2030 census by extending Supreme Court terms from 8 to 12 years, ending Dems' chance to flip the court in 2028

This map from @stephenwolf.bsky.social highlights the new #LA06. The old version was based almost entirely in the Baton Rouge media market. Now just over 40% is, with roughly similar, smaller chunks in 3 other markets. That makes TV advertising a lot more expensive!
