The time has come to minimize politics in redistricting.
The Constitution of North Carolina has a long and storied history. John Locke of England, perhaps the single greatest influence on those who wrote the foundational documents of our nation, was the co-author of North Carolina’s 1776 Constitution.
The 1776 Constitution provided for a House of Commons and a Senate. Voters of each county elected one Senator and two House members. Six, later seven, towns elected a representative to the House of Commons. The 1776 Constitution distinctly favored property owners since only property owners could vote for Senators. Members of the House, the Senate, and even the Governor had to meet property requirements.

You know who always want to change the rules? The people who are losing under the current rules. That's not a very persuasive argument.

"The people who are losing under the current rules." Funny they were probably the ones that implemented the "Rules" in the first place!
