Last year, North Carolina’s Republican-dominated, state legislatures passed a district map so gerrymandered that even if the state was 50% democratic and 50% republican, ten out of fourteen congressional seats would have gone to the Republicans. The map was eventually struck down but an upcoming Supreme Court case, Moore v. Harper, could reverse this. The Court will determine whether or not the map being stricken was justified. While the decision seems obvious, partisan scheming and the consequences of an unprecedented ruling can not be overlooked. After all, the result of Moore v. Harper could upend the pillars of America’s democracy.
