2020 North Carolina redistricting

edit
 
This image shows the 2020–2022 court-ordered NC Congressional districts.

Following a 2019 court order,[1] the North Carolina General Assembly passed a bill with new Congressional districts for the 2020 elections. Among other changes, the 2nd and 6th districts were drawn to be more urban. Those changes led the two incumbents in these districts, George Holding and Mark Walker, respectively, to retire. Both were Republicans, and Democrats won the newly redrawn districts. One other seat was open, as former Rep. Mark Meadows had resigned to become White House Chief of Staff, but a fellow Republican held that seat for the party. Incumbents won all elections in which they ran, with the 8th district (Richard Hudson) seat having the closest margin of victory.[2]

The 9th district spans from south Charlotte and its southern suburbs of Matthews and Mint Hill into suburban Fayetteville, including Union, Anson, Richmond, Scotland, and Robeson counties. The district remained vacant after the 2018 elections,[3] following the refusal of the state board of elections to certify the results and an ongoing investigation into absentee ballot fraud,[82] and on February 21, 2019, all five members of the board voted to call a new election.[83] Redistricting resulted in the district losing its share of Cumberland and Bladen counties, while gaining southern Moore County and Hoke County. The incumbent was Republican Dan Bishop, who won the special election with 50.7% of the vote.[84]
