North Carolina’s congressional delegation headed for a shake-up with 5 open seats and party shifts

Tuesday's primaries mark the start of what will likely be an exceptional change in the composition of the U.S. House delegation in North Carolina. In anticipation of this year's election, the Republican-controlled General Assembly redrew districts drawn by judges two years before. Based on past election results, the changes seem likely to transform a delegation now comprising seven Democrats and seven Republicans to one with 10 Republicans and four Democrats.
