"The 2017 congressional map kept 87 of North Carolina's 100 counties whole, and divides only 12 precincts, to achieve one person one vote. A "gerrymander" is by definition and common understanding, a strange looking "monster" drawing. This map is clearly not that. Judge Wynn is not being a judge, he is acting as a pundit by trying to impose his liberal beliefs instead of making a judicial ruling. Once again, unaccountable federal judges are attempting to throw North Carolina's elections into chaos by adopting radical, untested new theories at the eleventh hour. This must be appealed." - NCGOP Chairman Robin Hayes
