Lawyers representing state legislative leaders were in court Thursday in Raleigh, arguing to throw out an anti-gerrymandering lawsuit that targets the state’s new political districts.

The lawsuit argues that the state constitution guarantees the right to fair elections, and it says the new districts violate that promise. The Republican-led legislature argues that no such right exists, since it’s impossible to define what “fair” means.

    Well the alternative to fair elections is political violence. Choose wisely, the people enacting that violence could be a wildcard for any ideology.

      Hmm, don’t see anywhere in the Constitution where elected officials have a “right to life”. Your move NC.
