General Assembly Redistricts Senate and Approves Amendment
The North Carolina General Assembly ended a long stalemate by redistricting the state Senate to favor populous counties and approving a constitutional amendment modeled on the federal Congress. The measures passed in both chambers with the Sanford plan assigning three Mecklenburg senators and two each for Guilford and Forsyth, with Cumberland and Onslow getting full-time seats. The House passed the redistricting 103 to 11, the Senate cleared the amendment at 34 to 14, and the proposal awaits statewide ratification next year.
