Currie Bill Would Trim NC Senate to 32 Districts
The Currie measure would keep total senators at 50 but reduce Senate districts from 33 to 32 and assign two senators to Forsyth Guilford and Mecklenburg. It aims to ease representation gaps though wide county disparities persist with populations from 51 615 to 148 418 per senator. The plan alters eastern and western districts sparingly while preserving voting strength for small counties. Democrats scramble over Jefferson Jackson dinner timing site and ticket prices as Raleigh April 15 approaches.
