Fair Maps: Advocate urges redistricting reform
It's easy to say electoral districts should be drawn in a fair, nonpartisan way, but how can it be done? Local residents debated that question during the Fair Maps Town Hall Thursday night at the Pasquotank County Courthouse in Elizabeth City. The event featured government reform advocates and gerrymandering opponents Jane Pinsky, of the NC Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform, and Bob Phillips, of Common Cause North Carolina.
