LOL...I'm looking at making votes meaningful. If that's "utopia" to you, you have a funny definition of the word. NC is a decidedly purple state. In 2016, Democratic candidates for the House received
more votes statewide than GOP candidates did. More votes total. The House delegation that NC sent to Congress was 10 Republicans and three Democrats. A GOP legislator stated publicly they would have drawn it 11-2 if they could have found a way to do it.
Then the NCGOP requested a report on different voting practices broken down by race. They proceeded to pass legislation that curtailed or eliminated EVERY SINGLE PRACTICE favored by voters of color while leaving alone or expanding those favored by white voters. The judge who declared it unconstitutional said it targeted POC "with almost surgical precision". Ironically, they made white-favored absentee ballots easier until POC started using those in higher numbers. NOW the GOP thinks it's rife with fraud.
Yeah, they're not at all racist.
The GOP map was thrown out after the 2016 election due to it's egregious partisan gerrymandering. The court-ordered map changed those House numbers to 8 GOP/5 Dem which is far, far closer to NC as a whole. Votes...mattered. And that is what the state GOP is trying to have overturned. Their definition of "utopia" - yours? - is a guaranteed GOP control no matter what the vote is.
