This book gives a historical and contemporary overview of the
redistricting process, using North Carolina for the different
political, electoral, and legal issues and debates over the
practice of drawing legislative district boundaries. Redistricting
has been characterized as "the most political activity in America,"
and North Carolina has often been at the heart of recent
controversies over this particular activity. In fact, the Tar Heel
state was once described as "long notorious for (its) outrageous
reapportionment." Through legislative construction to significant
legal challenges, the Tar Heel state has been a noted case study
for the past thirty years. From the contentious issues of
redistricting principles to the matters of gerrymandering, based on
race and politics, North Carolina's past three decades have seen
major U.S. Supreme Court cases deal with redistricting
controversies. By exploring this state's dealings with
gerrymandering and redistricting, readers will have a better sense
of the dynamics facing the nation as it confronts the 2020 Census
and the subsequent redistricting efforts in 2021.

The 2020 Presidential Election in the South details how the 2020
presidential election developed in the twelve states of the South.
This edited volume features preeminent scholars of Southern
politics who analyze the momentous Election of 2020. In addition to
chapters organized by state, this volume also focuses upon the
issues that drove southern voters, the nominations process in early
2020, as well as a chapter focusing on where the region may be
headed politically in the next decade. In addition, each state
chapter includes analysis on notable congressional races and
important patterns at the state level. The authors also provide
keen insight into the ever-changing political patterns in the
region. Since the South continues to evolve in terms of politics
and demographic shifts, this book will be an important tool for
academics. However, the book will also enlighten journalists and
political enthusiasts seeking a deeper understanding of
contemporary changes in Southern electoral politics.
