Daily Kos (11/5/21) on North Carolina (with a Little on Alabama and New Hampshire) (NC, AL, & NH)

Daily Kos provides a detailed overview of the newly enacted North Carolina U.S. House map. The current lineup is 8-5 Republican. North Carolina will be gaining a seat, so the new breakdown is projected to be 10-3 GOP with one swing district. The state has had a recent history of successful challenges to Congressional districts in state court, so we'll see what happens... Alabama's map has also been signed into law, preserving a 6-1 Republican edge. The one Democratic seat has a large Black population and the state's population is such that a second district could have been drawn to include a sizable proportion of African Americans. This was not done, however, so lawsuits will follow... Finally, New Hampshire is only at the draft stage, but Republicans in the Granite State are proposing a map to make a 1-1 split more likely, as opposed to the current 2-0 Democratic delegation.
