Standing up to Judicial Redistricting
Indy piece highlights committee testimony by NCVCE’s Director on the dangers of judicial redistricting legislation.
“Maybe the U.S. Supreme Court wasn’t clear when the nation’s highest court told you to redraw our state’s gerrymandered maps. You told the public you were too busy with the budget to redraw unconstitutional legislative districts. Instead, you are embarking on the biggest challenge of our judiciary in over fifty years—done in secret, behind closed doors, and without public input,” said Melissa Price Kromm of North Carolina Voters for Clean Elections during the bill’s public comments. “You’re crippling the courts, punishing the people of North Carolina, just to grease the wheels of partisan politics. This needs to have full and public input.”
