RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Republicans have closed in on enacting new boundaries for the state’s congressional and legislative districts that aim to fortify GOP prospects for Capitol Hill and in Raleigh. The full Senate voted Tuesday along party lines for maps for the state’s congressional delegation and for the Senate’s own districts. The state House also voted later Tuesday on districts for their own chamber. The House and Senate chambers could wrap up their work by Wednesday. Election data shows the proposed U.S. House districts could give Republicans at least three more seats. And the legislative districts aim to help the GOP keep General Assembly control for years to come.
