The GOP will pick up 3 or 4 seats in a state that is close to even. The governor can’t veto the gerrymandering which was aided by a Republican-majority state Supreme Court.

NC voted for Trump 50% to 49%, but map is drawn so that 10 of 14 districts will have gone for Trump.
Dems are packed into 3 districts that gave Biden 73%, 75%, & 68%; plus a swing 51/49 district. https://t.co/cU8P1wceea pic.twitter.com/IyXU3sqtSZ
the GOP just made North Carolina into what it's done to Wisconsin for 10+ years: create an eternal Republican hold on power, effectively shielded from elections.

"The new North Carolina maps are even worse than many feared, pursuing partisan advantage with greater audacity and precision than any gerrymander in recent history." – Prof. Asher D. Hildebrandhttps://t.co/tPfll4CEQu

The new North Carolina budget significantly curtails access to the state's public records and erodes the public's ability to challenge redistricting maps.
