| Description | RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -- Maps outlining North Carolina's state House and Senate districts drawn last year by the Democrat-led Legislature are unconstitutional, the state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
The four majority justices in the 4-1 opinion are Republicans and the lone dissenter is a Democrat. Two other Republican justices did not participate in the ruling.
The decision means lawmakers likely will have to draw legislative district maps a third time. The 2002 elections were held using interim maps drawn by a lower court judge. |
