BREAKING: Fantastic news for voters and the health of our democracy — the NC Supreme Court just struck down the legislative and congressional maps as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The maps violate a voter's fundamental right to vote.

Not clear exactly what the next step is, but North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein seems pretty happy with the outcome, so it’s safe to say Republicans are going to be pissed. In related news, democracy fanboys are awaiting a possible move by the US Supreme Court to intervene in a case in Alabama, in which a federal judge tossed that state’s GOP-drawn Congressional map last month, ordering it redrawn with a second Black-majority district in the state by Monday.
