The North Carolina Superior Court of Wake County granted a preliminary injunction on Monday barring the use of a new electoral map in the 2020 primary and general elections for illegal partisan gerrymandering.
The plaintiffs, led by the National Redistricting Foundation (NRF), sought to block the state’s remedial electoral map from being used in the 2020 elections. The remedial map was drawn by the Republican-dominated state legislature after the previous map from 2011 was declared unconstitutional in 2017 for illegal racial gerrymandering.
