The North Carolina caucus, which was originally scheduled to take place March 15, may be delayed after the federal court Friday ruled that the district maps set up by the North Carolina government were unconstitutional. The districts in question are 1 and 12, which were gerrymandered based on racial lines. Majority parties in state governments often draw the lines to their parties’ advantages, but basing it off race is illegal. Common Cause North Carolina said the ruling is another reason why an independent panel should draw voting maps, not state lawmakers.
