FILE - In this Jan. 9, 2013 file photo, Phil Berger takes an oath as he was re-elected to North Carolina Senate President Pro Tempore, in Raleigh, N.C. Redistricting experts say North Carolina legislative districts redrawn after a state court found them tainted by excessive partisan bias are skewed less toward Republicans compared to current plans. But the remap wouldn’t necessarily secure majorities for Democrats in the 2020 elections. New state House and Senate districts approved by the General Assembly this week are now with a three-judge panel. “Every effort has been made to create fair, nonpartisan, and court-compliant districts,” Berger said in a release urging the judges uphold the maps.
