RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- It is officially back to the drawing board as the focus of state lawmakers turns to redistricting. New lines for U.S. Congress and the NC General Assembly for 2024 could have an effect, not just for the state, but in the battle for control of the U.S. House. While North Carolina has been notorious for gerrymandering going back many years, including by Democrats decades ago, it's now the Republican supermajority with the power to redraw the lines. As it stands now, the court-drawn maps used in 2022, which produced a 50-50 split delegation of seven Democrats and seven Republicans will not be used again in 2024.
