This week has been a roller coaster for North Carolina primary elections filings. After several stops and starts on late Wednesday, the North Carolina Supreme Court suspended the ongoing candidate filing period for the 2022 elections in the state based on concerns over district maps and gerrymandering.
The battle over political maps in North Carolina continues. The fight hit home yesterday as fillings began in Davidson County. Municipal candidates were permitted to file. The start of North Carolina candidate filing for U.S. House and legislative seats was blocked on early on Monday by an appeals court panel then only restored hours later by the state Court of Appeals judges.
