The bill they're talking about here, #H140, that is starting to lose Democratic support, is the same one that the legislative defendants just cited Art Pope as having endorsed when offering him as a gerrymandering referee.
If you don't know who Art Pope is, he's the North Carolina Republican mega-donor behind the GOP REDMAP effort that led to maps that have been found to be both partisan *and* racially gerrymandered by multiple courts.
Now, I wouldn't trust any redistricting reform bill that Art Pope endorsed. As the Common Cause trial showed, #NCGA Republican leadership has acted in bad faith at every turn on this issue. Even now in offering Pope as "referee" they're basically trolling the court.
