The map targets the district of Democratic US House Rep. Don Davis, which has been represented by a Black member of Congress for more than three decades, shifting it from a district that Trump won by 3 points in 2024 to 12 points under the new lines.
Republicans are making one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation even more rigged

Important statement here:

"Trump’s increasingly desperate attempts to incite a civil war within the United States in advance of the midterms and the rejection of his party’s healthcare evisceration each demonstrate growing vulnerabilities of the nascent MAGA tyranny."
