Legislative leaders responded with some dramatic changes to the state's congressional maps and openly declared that their chief aim was to craft districts that would favor their own party.<\/p><p>\"I acknowledge freely that this would be a political gerrymander, which is not against the law,\" Rep. David Lewis (R-Harnett) told the redistricting committee that he co-chairs.<\/p><p>While Republican legislators claim that race played no part in this latest round of redistricting, the new maps divide NC A&amp;T's campus of over 10,000 students &ndash; a majority of whom are African-American &ndash; into the 6th or 13th districts. According to the students that spoke out last week, the split could dilute the voting power of the campus community and cause Election Day confusion at the polls.<\/p><p>\"With this university being split into two congressional districts, it undermines and diminishes its political influence and its lobbying power,\" said Aleecia Sutton, a student at NC A&amp;T State University and a Democracy Fellow with Common Cause North Carolina.<\/p><p>Nhawndie Smith said dividing the campus could discourage her fellow A&amp;T students from casting a ballot. \"How can I vote knowing that my vote won't even have power?\" Smith said.<\/p><p>Die neuen Wahlkreiseinteilungen f\u00fcr den Kongress k\u00f6nnten einer weiteren gerichtlichen Pr\u00fcfung unterzogen werden. Doch unabh\u00e4ngig vom Ausgang des Gerichtsverfahrens sagt Dominique Sanders von Common Cause North Carolina, es gebe einen sicheren Weg, alle W\u00e4hler vor Gerrymandering zu sch\u00fctzen: die Umstellung auf ein unabh\u00e4ngiges System der Neugliederung der Wahlkreise.<\/p><p>\"We've got to get partisan politics out of the redistricting process,\" Sanders said.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
