I've lived in NC for all my life.

During the 90s, I lived in one of the major cities in the state and regularly had Dems representing me in the legislature.

When I moved in 2000 to a blue small town next to a blue small city in central NC, I've only had one Democratic representative for my district in the state legislature - that was when the previous court-ordered balanced map was in effect.

I've been taxed without representation for twenty years.

And there's not a damned thing that the NC Supreme Court or SCOTUS wants to do about it.

Republicans do this shit in every state where they have the opportunity. Democrats in their two biggest states--CA and NY--have essentially decided not to do this, because maybe their shining example of fair play will shame Republicans into being better people. When they go low, we must go high, right?
