They gerrymander and gerrymander until they have control...then when the state of North Carolina votes for a Democrat in a state-wide election they decide to hamstring them as much as possible. They did it to Cooper and now they're doing it in advance of Stein.

Now that we've broken the super majority, at least Stein will be able to veto without fear of an override.

Take them to court.
