Yes hello, NC resident here. Thanks for remembering we exist! (No, seriously.)
A state appellate court invalidated two districts last week, telling the GOP legislature to redraw them by next Friday. (Note: this is also what happens when the protections of the Voting Rights Act are stripped away.) Our primary is March 15. The GOP is whining about how they can't do it, it'll make everything harder, etc, and of course taking the districting to SCOTUS. http://www.wral.com/nc-redistricting-case-heads-to-us-supreme-court/15343601/
