Republican lawmakers in North Carolina announced a plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts, setting up a bitter fight with Democrats.

Redistricting reentered the national dialogue in August when Texas unveiled an aggressive plan to strip Democrats of five House seats, threatening a nationwide gerrymandering arms race. Several red states followed suit when Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) unveiled his own plan for retaliation. After weeks of few developments, North Carolina became the next state to take up the issue, with Republicans looking to redraw a more favorable map.
