North Carolina Supreme Court throws out previous ruling against gerrymandered districts, upholds voter ID law
Fox News
The right-leaning North Carolina Supreme Court threw out a ruling against gerrymandered districts in the state and upheld a law requiring photo ID to vote.
When the court leaned Democrat in December, it threw out a state Senate map from the Republican-led state legislature and maintained congressional boundaries that had been drawn up by trial judges. "This case is not about partisan politics, but rather about realigning the proper roles of the judicial and legislative branches." Jon Brown is a writer for Fox News Digital.

The ruling in December emerged from a landmark decision in February 2022 that ruled state courts have the ability to throw out district lines that would give an unfair advantage to one political party in a narrowly-divided state.
