NC REPUBLICANS REDRAW MAPS TO STACK THE COURTS WITH FRIENDS: North Carolina House Republicans pressed ahead Monday with legislation redrawing electoral boundaries for trial court judges and district attorneys that its author said was months in the making but surfaced with the days left in this year's session quickly dwindling. The updated maps for Superior Court, District Court and prosecutors' districts, combined with the lack of formal input by judicial groups, only raised misgivings among Democrats that the altered boundaries are designed largely to benefit Republicans. "They're trying to rig the courts because they've lost," Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper told reporters earlier Monday. "This is an attempt to threaten the judiciary and to rig the judiciary in their favor."
