North Carolina republicans seem so ruthlessly partisan. Worst state GOP in the country?

I live here & I agree.

Phil Berger is the worst man in this state (he has several nepo baby sons in different counties and positions), Destin Hall is the second. (Tim Moore would be second if he weren’t in Congress.) This is going to have to be settled in federal court because almost all the GOP state judges here don’t care about fairness, stare decisis or the rule of law.

It's because they know North Carolina will become a blue state like Virginia.

It’s going to take not just sustained GOTV efforts but flipping the state Supreme Court (or a federal law banning partisan gerrymandering) for that to happen.

And the reason that NC GOP is getting even more extreme now is because they’re scared of Anderson Clayton. She helped flip statewide seats last year that would’ve gone Republican (LG, AG, school superintendent). That’s why they’re all in on trying to steal Allison Riggs’ seat. Because they know if the SCONC flips after 2028, their partisan gerrymandering, 12 week abortion ban and not funding public schools will get overturned.
