Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if the North Carolina Constitution were to be amended deleting the requirement that counties may not be split into multiple districts (though multiple counties may make up one district), would this not only apply to the NEXT redistricting session? I'm fairly sure that for this Constitutional change to apply to the PREVIOUS session would clearly be an instance of ex-post facto law, which is illegal nationwide (according to both the Federal Constitution, and every appropriate State constitution).

Am I wrong? Or are the Dumbocrats not trying to make this ex-post facto?

Well, that's why pencils have erasers, and citizens have weapons. Any questions??
