  • After cloaking a bill that strips key powers from Democrats as hurricane aid, the state's Republican-controlled legislature overrode a veto from Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, to pass it into law.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 11, 2024, discusses how North Carolina Republicans have significantly expanded their political power through strategic redistricting and legislative maneuvers. Following the 2020 census, GOP lawmakers in the state redrew congressional and state legislative maps to favor their party, securing a supermajority in the state legislature. This has allowed them to override vetoes by Democratic Governor Roy Cooper, enact conservative policies, and diminish the influence of Democrats in the state. The article highlights the implications of these actions, including the potential long-term effects on the state's political landscape, the erosion of checks and balances, and the concerns raised by voting rights groups about the fairness of the electoral process.
