Lewis<\/em> na ang NC General Assembly ay lumabag sa Konstitusyon ng North Carolina noong ito ay nag-gerrymander sa mga distritong pambatas ng estado para sa partisan na pakinabang. Binigyan ng korte ang lehislatura ng dalawang linggo upang gumuhit ng mga bagong distrito ng NC House at NC Senate, na nag-aaplay ng mahigpit na pamantayang hindi partisan at sa buong pampublikong pagtingin.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nPahayag mula kay Bob Phillips, executive director ng Common Cause NC:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u201cThis is a historic victory for the people of North Carolina. The court has made clear that partisan gerrymandering violates our state\u2019s constitution and is unacceptable. Thanks to the court\u2019s landmark decision, politicians in Raleigh will no longer be able to rig our elections through partisan gerrymandering.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s crucial now is ensuring that the legislature fully complies with the court\u2019s order and draws new legislative districts in a timely fashion, with full transparency and robust public input, absolutely free from gerrymandering.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPahayag mula kay Karen Hobert Flynn, presidente ng Common Cause:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u201cA narrow majority on the United States Supreme Court turned their backs on the voters in North Carolina in June refusing to curb the blatant partisan gerrymander, but today the state\u2019s own court stood up for the rights of those voters under the state constitution. This victory joins a growing list of victories in the fight to end gerrymandering nationwide. The battles do not end here though. We will watchdog this process to ensure that the legislature draws fair maps and the process is transparent. In other states the fight will go on in state courts, in legislatures, and through ballot initiatives to ensure every voter across this country has a voice at the polls. Common Cause will be relentless in continuing our fight to end partisan gerrymandering once and for all.\u201d\r\n\r\nTo view the ruling, i-click dito<\/a>.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about Common Cause v.
