RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Republicans have pitched new maps for the state’s congressional districts starting in 2024 that appear to threaten the reelection of at least three current Democratic U.S. House members. Senate redistricting committee leaders introduced two proposals on Wednesday that would rework the boundary lines for the state’s 14 U.S. House seats. The House and Senate want to enact a final plan by the end of the month. North Carolina’s delegation is currently split between seven Democrats and seven Republicans. Approving a plan that would give GOP a solid chance to win 10 or 11 seats in North Carolina would help Capitol Hill Republicans preserve their U.S. House majority next year.
