Today, Congressman Wiley Nickel (NC-13) issued the following statement in response to former state Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr’s lawsuit asking state courts to declare that North Carolinians have a constitutional right to fair elections:

“Voters deserve a redistricting process that ensures every voice and every vote is heard and accounted for," said Congressman Wiley Nickel. “That's what this lawsuit's all about – fixing a broken system and giving voters a fair shot at the ballot box. I’ll continue to fight with every ounce of my energy for fair maps, an end to partisan gerrymandering, and to protect the right to vote for every single North Carolinian.”
