NC Supreme Court Reverses Gerrymandering Ruling; Could Wipe Out 4 Dem Seats

• The North Carolina state Supreme Court has just handed a major victory to Republicans. The court reversed a previous decision on “partisan gerrymandering.”
• The move is a big win for the GOP as it sets up an opportunity for Republican gains in the U.S. House of Representatives.
• When the previous decision was made, Democrats controlled the court. However, they recently lost power in the midterm elections.

NEW: as expected, new GOP majority on NC Supreme Court reverses previous court's ruling that partisan gerrymandering is illegal. This could wipe out four Dem seats, nearly doubling the GOP's cushion in the House. Full backstory at @CookPolitical: https://t.co/HkgUv9uCuJ
