Court upholds 2021 redistricting maps | Eastern NC Now

The North State Journal.com   is reporting:

A three-judge panel upheld the state’s congressional and legislative maps in a unanimous decision following last week’s expedited trial.

In a unanimous decision, the panel denied the plaintiffs’ claims that the new lines violated state law. The judges were on a fast timeline following the trial order from the state Supreme Court in December. The plaintiffs are expected to appeal the decision to the state’s highest court.

“At the end of the day, after carefully and fully conducting our analysis, it is clear that plaintiffs’ claims must fail,” the judges said in part of the ruling.
