A US district court ruled earlier this week that North Carolina’s partisan gerrymandered congressional districts were unconstitutional, raising the very real possibility that new maps might need to be drawn mere weeks before the 2018 House elections.
New districts would likely be a boon for Democrats: Though North Carolina is evenly or nearly evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, Republicans currently hold 10 of the state’s 13 House seats. In their quest for a House majority, even one or two newly competitive seats in North Carolina would be a major boost to Democrats’ chances of taking over at least one chamber of Congress.
But first, state officials and the courts need to figure out if drawing new districts is even possible in such a short time and whether the congressional elections might need to be delayed in order to accommodate the court-ordered redistricting. Looming over all of it is the US Supreme Court, which could put a stay on the lower court’s decision and bring the whole mad dash to an end very quickly.
North Carolina Republican leaders accused the federal court’s decision of introducing “unmitigated chaos” to the state’s 2018 elections — and while they are surely peeved at the thought of losing congressional seats, they aren’t wrong in thinking the court has upended the 2018 landscape in North Carolina and nationwide.

Boudinot and John Ridge became the two Cherokee leaders of opposite viewpoints.
Boudinot considered that the removal was inevitable and signed the Treaty of New
Echota in 1835 with other treaty supporters. On the other hand, the chief of
Cherokee nation, John Ridge, tried to stop white political leaders from forcing
them to move; he was backed by the majority. Their resistance resulted in the "Trail
of Tears" (Nu na da ul tsun yi (the place where they cried)) in which
one-fourth of the Cherokee forced to move died.</span>
