The type of gerrymandering that took place in north Carolina 12th congressional district was an example of affirmative Gerrymandering. Its specific goal was to create a district with an African American majority with the purpose of giving this community of interest greater representation.

Gerrymandering is a practice which aims to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries.

The term gerrymandering has negative connotations.

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.

What did fans of "spectator sports" do to receive their sport updates?
kogti [31]

Answer:

The populist moment of 2016 drove multiple academic disciplines together in a

Kierkegaardian way. They realized that complacently living life forward in liberal

democracies now required an understanding life backwards of in terms of tribalism and

identity. An emerging consensus—that multiple ethnic identities should be contained within a

greater single civic/creedal identity—highlighted an enduring tension between two ready

components in sports: gamesmanship (the tribal reality of winning, mostly through

professionalism) and sportsmanship (the rule-of-law ideal of playing well, ideally through

amateurism). American football’s unique provenance as a highly commercial and physical

game within higher education’s ideals of intellectual and noncommercial educational

excellence, offers a unique study of the power of gamesmanship to shape sportsmanship while

illuminating its realistic and historic contained boundaries. This study anchors the
