2 districts were gerrymandered including our own. The Feds said not so fast and told the state to try again. Therefore we had to delay the congressional primary to June.

But it got worse. Then the republicans decided to redraw all the districts to maintain their majority in the House.

North Carolina Gov. Patrick McCrory, a Republican, petitioned the Supreme Court to stay the lower-court's decision so the elections would take place on March 15 rather than waiting until June 7.

While only required to redraw the lines of some districts, Republicans redrew every district line to ensure they would maintain a 10-3 Republican majority in the House, Democrats said.

The SCOTUS said try again.

And as it turned out I ended up in a 3rd district. Now that is Democracy in action NOT!
