RALEIGH, N.C. — Republican lawmakers lost their recent U.S. Supreme Court appeal to stop the 2022 elections from being held using district maps the lawmakers didn’t get to draw themselves. But some in the party hope Monday’s ruling is just the first step in a coming legal fight, and not the final word.
That’s because the core of the GOP’s argument is about much more than just maps and redistricting.
And the court could still take it up, if the legislature asks.
