North Carolina redistricting ruling eyed by July 1967
A three judge federal panel ruled that the North Carolina Legislature may have to redraw district lines by July 1, 1967 to address disputed apportionment. The panel suggested that congressmen from sparsely populated eastern and western districts may have to run against each other to allow more representation for the populous Piedmont. The judges warned lawmakers to redesign districts when the General Assembly reconvenes in January.
