The North Carolina legislature has released the redistricting maps for congressional, state Senate and state House districts.
The state Senate released two different maps for the congressional districts, with no indication of which map the Republican majority in the state Senate favors.
In both of the proposed redistricting maps for the 14 congressional districts, most of Greensboro is cut out of the 6th District and placed in the 5th District.
In the map labeled 2023/CCJ-1, the portion of Guilford County cut out of the 6th District includes most of Greensboro and a swath going up to the northwest corner of the county. In that map, the 5th Congressional District includes Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga, Caldwell, Alexander and Wilkes counties. It will be considered a safe Republican district.
Most of High Point and the southwest portion of Guilford County will be in the 6th District along with portions of Forsyth and Cabarrus counties and all of Davie, Davidson, and Rowan counties.
In the map 2023/CCJ-1, the 9th District is made up of the eastern portion of Guilford County, all of Randolph, Alamance, Moore and Hoke counties and portions of Chatham and Cumberland counties. It too will be considered a safe Republican district.
In the map labeled 2023/CBP-5, most of Greensboro is again placed in the 5th district, but the swath of Guilford County in the 5th district goes west to connect with Forsyth County. In that proposed map, the 5th District, along with portions of Guilford and Forsyth, includes Yadkin, Surry, Alleghany, Ashe, Watauga Caldwell, Alexander and Wilkes counties. It too will be considered a safe Republican district.
The 6th District in map 2023/CBP-5 is made up of Guilford County minus Greensboro and the western portion of the county, plus Davidson, Rowan counties and a portion of Cabarrus County.
Early analysis of the maps report that they nearly guarantee that Republicans would win 10 and possibly 11 of the 14 North Carolina congressional seats. The 2022 maps that were drawn by a special master hired by the North Carolina Supreme Court, which had a Democratic majority divided the state with seven Republican and seven Democratic districts.
The current North Carolina Supreme Court with a Republican majority ruled that partisan redistricting did not violate the North Carolina Constitution.
If you want to know how highly the North Carolina State Senate thinks of Greensboro and Guilford County, all you have to do is look at the congressional redistricting maps the state Senate released.
Along with the map of the state are detailed maps of the state’s two largest counties, Wake and Mecklenburg, and then the state’s fourth largest county, Forsyth. So Guilford, the third largest county, and Greensboro, the state’s third largest city, don’t rate a detailed map but the fourth largest county, Forsyth, and Winston-Salem, the state’s fifth largest city, do.
Greensboro’s p poor reputation has earned the lack of respect but be assured Skippy and the east Greensboro city council will be playing the race card very soon.
These Jim Crow Flashback NC Republicans aren’t going to quit until they have complete control of all NC. One Party Rule! What is the use of having a Governor that people elected. The Republican Legislation want to make all the decisions. What is the use of having a Board of Education. Because the Republicans want to teach their lies to Black, Native Americans and Latino Kids that this Country was Perfect and Holy, No wrongs was done. The Wilmington Riots of 1892 didn’t happen. They want to control Women as well. Now they want to control Greensboro and Winston-Salem by carving the cities up on 2 or 3 different districts. Pairing them up with Rural Counties that don’t have anything in common with Winston-Salem or Greensboro. If Both Cities was Conservatives and More Caucasian they wouldn’t be doing this. Republicans always talking junk about these cities, but most of them work, eat, shop and see shows in both cities. Why because their cities are dead or dry with limited opportunities. They are against Development, Building New Schools and Places to lived. The Conservatives Majority Supreme Court has already said the NC Legislation What discrimination against African Americans and stripped them? Just like in Alabama. But the NC Legislation and their Jesse Helms followers keep doing it. If Greensboro and Winston-Salem Salem is so bad, Then why do you want your Rural Counties attached to them. Record they won’t control over the liberal leaning counties. Just like Richard Nixon war against Progessive College Students, Civil Right Groups and Women. Liberals and Blacks don’t call people Monkeys, Thugs, Ghetto, Animals and Monster. Liberals and Black People don’t pack up and move when they move in like they do. But they say it’s not about Race.
The Democrats have been after a one party rule for years, they accused Republicans of actually what they are doing. They tried to pass HP to which which would sew up every election for them. these people are ruthless and they will stop at nothing right now they are trying to imprisoned their political rival which is Donald Trump. That is a communistic approach to an election.
You are speaking truth. It’s blatant Jim Crow 2.0 in action in local government. Complete disregard for ensuring true representation for all people and non rural city residents which happens to be a very large group of diverse citizens. What is most appalling is that most Republican legislatures claim to be Christians, but every action of hypocrisy reveals their true nature. They should be afraid that they will not see Jesus when their time comes if they continue on this path. We all fall short of God’s glory but for those who think their hateful actions don’t count as despicable sin, well the enemy has fully fooled their hearts and minds. They expect to meet Jesus one day but because their behavior of hate by their blatant acts of prejudices, inequalities, injustices and embracing proven lies, our Lord will know them NOT and is a guaranteed way to NOT see Jesus. Why are these supposed Christians okay with this guaranteed risk of their soul. The KKK adamantly claimed to be Christians too. Their hatefulness was the farthest from God’s Word and what He says about how we are to treat other people, even when they don’t look like you.
The legislature has been itching to stick it to the larger cities ever since the HB 2 days. Looks like they found a way.
The Democrats are trying to force this country into a one party rule. They are trying to impress and their political rival which is Donald Trump. These people are ruthless and they will stop at nothing. They are after world power world domination, vote straight Republican, and save your country and save your democracy.
