The Triad has been a frequent focus of the state legislature’s redistricting efforts.
Voters in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point have been shuttled through various changes to the maps that determine who represents them in Congress.
But as the legislature works to again redraw the maps for a Republican advantage, it’s status quo in the Triad.
Wake Forest University Political Science Professor John Dinan says one reason changes won’t be made to local district lines is because the maps already favor the GOP.
"There's nothing to be gained by altering Triad-area districts on the part of Republican legislative leaders," he says. "Because those are all Republican held, and look to be rather solidly Republican held at this point."
Dinan says the current redistricting plans involve two districts in the eastern part of the state. Republicans currently hold ten of North Carolina’s fourteen seats in the House of Representatives.
He adds that if the maps are redrawn as GOP legislators want, they would likely pick up an additional seat.
