FILE - In this Monday, July 15, 2019 file photo, a state districts map is shown as a three-judge panel of the Wake County Superior Court presides over the trial of Common Cause, et al. v. Lewis, et al, in Raleigh, N.C. Fresh off sweeping electoral victories a decade ago, governors and lawmakers in several states used new census data to redraw voting districts for Congress and state legislatures that were intended to help their party remain in power for years to come. Those efforts largely paid off, particularly for Republicans. An Associated Press analysis designed to detect the effects of gerrymandering shows that Republicans enjoyed a greater political advantage in more states over the past decade than either party had over the past 50 years.
