The North Carolina state Senate approved a new congressional map that seeks to write Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) out of his district, the latest step by a state GOP to try and bolster national Republicans ’ slim majority in the House.

The Senate adopted the new map on Tuesday, with the state House expected to approve it later this week. The map redraws the lines to add one more seat to the Republicans’ delegation to Washington, D.C. , and, given that Gov. Josh Stein (D-NC) has no veto power, Democrats have virtually no options other than a lawsuit to prevent Davis from being targeted.
