Is this like the ruling North Carolina straight up ignored? Asking as someone whose vote is essentially worthless because of gerrymandering.

The three judge panel said they’re appointing a special master to draw the new map, meaning that the legislature doesn’t have to approve it (I think, someone correct me if I’m wrong).

It is hard to have hope in NC, isn't it? My infant daughter and her mother were in a peaceful protest where the county sheriff decided to teargas them, then almost crushed in the ensuing panic, while the actual Klan was driving around flying Trump and Confederate flags and giving fucking coffee to the pigs.
