Getting less attention, but a contest no less important is the upcoming NC Supreme Court election. This will shape the fall matchups for two seats on the State Supreme Court. At stake this year is whether the court remains majority Democrat or flips to Republican control, with consequences for decisions on redistricting and issues championed by Democratic Governor Roy Cooper.
The North Carolina Supreme Court struck down maps for Congress and the State legislature that were drawn by the Republican-controlled General Assembly earlier this year. In its 4-3 ruling, the N.C. Supreme Court called the districts illegal partisan gerrymanders. Lawmakers will get a chance next year to redraw the congressional map because the one used for this year's election was approved on an interim basis, giving Republicans added motivation to try to unseat the two Democratic justices this year.
