10 10 - A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR AN END TO PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING WHEREAS, the current state redistricting process creates a conflict of interest as lawmakers are effectively selecting their own constituents; and WHEREAS, legislative incumbents often construct districts that split communities of interest and are not compact; and WHEREAS, the current redistricting process has severely undermined our basic democratic process, as evidenced by the fact that in 2016 only 10% of North Carolina legislative races were competitive, 40% of state legislative races had only one candidate on the ballot and not a single congressional race was competitive in North Carolina; and WHEREAS, the lack of competitive elections has led to a serious degradation of our political discourse in North Carolina, where there is little room for compromise and a growing polarization and gridlock in Washington, DC and Raleigh, and WHEREAS, leaders of both political parties in North Carolina have expressed a desire to end partisan gerrymandering by creating a non-partisan redistricting commission; and WHEREAS, the redistricting process is one that should be conducted in an open, transparent manner with real opportunities for public dialogue and feedback, rather than behind closed doors; and WHEREAS, important principles including the protections of the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 and respect for neighborhoods, towns and counties should be clearly listed for a Commission to abide by; and WHEREAS, voters are more likely to participate when they believe that their votes will count and that they have a reasonable chance of electing candidates who represent their interests; and WHEREAS, elected officials are more responsive to constituents when voters have a choice of candidate, thereby increasing accountability and serving the best interest of the voters; now therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the State of North Carolina should establish an independent redistricting process that has as its goal new legislative districts that are: as nearly equal in population as practicable; composed of a compact and contiguous territory that does not divide any county, city, or incorporated town, except where necessary to ensure equality of population; and which incorporate the principles of diversity and partisan balance.
