North Carolina Republicans Ask Supreme Court to Reconsider Decisions on Redistricting and Voter Identification

North Carolina Republican Assembly leaders announced Friday they are asking the state’s highest court to review decisions on redistricting and voter identification.

North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore said in a press release that GOP lawyers are asking judges to reconsider decisions made under the previous Democratic majority. Republican lawyers have regained a majority of state Supreme Court seats in the 2022 election.

NORTH CAROLINA HOUSE SPEAKER SAYS STATE COURTS HAVE BREAKED CONSTITUTION BY MAKING NEW CONGRESS MAP

In a new lawsuit, lawyers for Republican lawmakers argued that the court’s decision in the redistricting case known as Harper v. Hall wrongfully impaired the ability of state legislators to define legislative and congressional districts.

The Supreme Court, as it stands, ruled in December that the state senate lines, already drawn once by Republican lawmakers, were marred by partisan bias and should be redrawn. And he supported the map of Congress drawn up by the trial judges but opposed by the Republicans.
