congressional districts

Alabama is once again asking the Supreme Court to let it keep Republican-drawn congressional districts. In essence, the state is fighting a court order that the high court upheld just months ago.

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed North Carolina's court-imposed congressional maps to stand, it means some changes for Triad area voters.

These metro areas saw the most dramatic turnarounds in this election from red to blue — and were responsible for Democrats taking back the House.

The course highlights the zigzagging line separating North Carolina's 10th and 11th Congressional districts. One expert says ugly districts are a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself.

The Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that struck down 28 state House and Senate districts in North Carolina because they violated the rights of black voters.

The U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed a federal court ruling that forced legislators to redraw the state's political maps last year.

The three-judge panel found that Republicans had used race as a motivating factor in redrawing districts. Texas will now consider whether to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
