Raleigh – North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin released the following statement after a three-judge panel ruled that North Carolina’s congressional districts will stand:

“North Carolina Republicans yet again run out the clock on fair maps, denying justice to North Carolina voters and forcing our state to go another election using undemocratic district lines. North Carolina Democrats will not stop fighting for truly fair maps where voters – not undemocratically-elected politicians – choose their representatives, and we look forward to sending new representatives to Congress who will better reflect our state’s values.”
