NCGOP Statement on Legislative Redistricting
Raleigh, NC, Ferrell Blount, Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party today issued the following statement on the Legislative Redistricting process.
“ I am saddened to report that today’s adoption of the unconstitutional redistricting map is certain to lead to further litigation. The Leadership in the North Carolina Legislature has disappointed the citizens of our great state once again. Incredibly, they didn’t share the maps with the general public, they hardly let the legislators themselves see the maps until shortly before they were asked to vote on them, and did not allow for any debate on the issue.”
Chairman Blount went on to say, “We are and have been overwhelmed by the explosion of grassroots support from the North Carolina rank and file Republicans. We thank them for letting the NCGOP and their elected representatives know how they feel about this attempt to subvert the State Constitution.”GOP House Members who voted against the unconstitutional redistricting plan:
