Federal Judges Seek Information on New North Carolina Congressional Map
A three-judge panel overseeing two North Carolina federal redistricting lawsuits is seeking information on how the state's new congressional map affects their cases.
The judges have requested written briefs from parties in the two suits to be filed next week, as the new map is set to take effect in 2026.
The lawsuits challenged the congressional map used in the 2024 election cycle, with one suit also challenging maps for state House and Senate elections.
The court's inquiry comes after lawmakers approved the new map this week.
