After the State Supreme Court prevented an extreme Republican gerrymander earlier this year, new maps were enacted. In what we fully expected to be a tough year, we believed that there were paths for the rightwing to regain supermajorities in both chambers.
We needed to block a supermajority in one chamber to protect Governor Cooper’s veto power against a radical agenda that includes abortion bans and anti-voter policies. We saw a clearer path to our goal in the State House where we needed to prevent losing three seats.
We preserved enough power to stave off what would have been a devastating rightwing victory. In the North Carolina House, and helped prevent a supermajority by 315 voters!
to help us lay the groundwork for change in states like North Carolina now!
