But even though the state will gain a seat due to reapportionment, GOP leaders want to gerrymander the new maps so badly that North Carolinians will be left with one fewer Democrat in the House! Take a look at this screen grab from a local story: [Carolina Journal: Carolina Journal has learned that GOP redistricting leaders will consider approving a new map designed to elect 10 Republicans and four Democrats beginning in 2022. Help the NDRC fight GOP gerrymandering plots! DONATE NOW ]( Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal courts can’t hear partisan gerrymandering cases, Republicans have been broadcasting their intentions to manipulate the maps as heavily as possible this year. Unless we fight back, it’s going to be 2011 on steroids. That’s because Republicans need to flip just seven seats to take the majority in the House -- and according to the Carolina Journal, they could pick up almost all of them thanks to redistricting in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Texas alone! We’re getting ready to pressure redistricting officials to adopt fair maps this year, and when necessary we will support plaintiffs in lawsuits to protect the redistricting process from manipulation. But all of that work is possible thanks to support from people like you, and we’re running out of time to prepare!
