The Assault on Democratic Representation: North Carolina's Gerrymandering Crisis

A federal court in North Carolina has allowed a gerrymandered congressional map that targets the state's only swing district and potentially ends three decades of Black representation in that seat.

Don Davis, one of the state's three Black representatives, using their legislative majority to bypass Democratic opposition. This brazen partisan gerrymandering represents a disgusting assault on voting rights and democratic representation that should outrage every American who values fair elections and equal representation.
