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.

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.
