Special Session Ends with Redistricting Passed in North Carolina
The Carolina legislature completed a special session on redistricting for all 11 congressional districts. The changes moved Bladen County from the 3rd to the 7th district and Warren from the 1st to the 2nd. The House also approved a constitutional amendment to raise membership from 120 to 150, amid a Senate fight over its own expansion. A federal court order ordered reapportionment based on population, signaling a political shift to the Piedmont Crescent and ending equal town county distribution.

The Senate plan passed after House approval, aiming to finalise district lines by the end of the special session and set the boundary until the 1970 census unless further federal action alters the plan.
