    Thanks for the info, Wikipedia just needs an update.

    Since the map had already passed the state Senate on Tuesday, it is now law. (In North Carolina, the governor has no veto power over redistricting.)

    I'm not from the US so I didn't understand the importance of these comments. To clarify for others, North Carolina's Senate is currently Republican majority, and the incumbent governor is Democratic (Roy Cooper). My source is still Wikipedia.

    The map is an amended version of Proposal CCJ-1, the less aggressively gerrymandered of the two proposals unveiled by Republicans last week.

    If you're morbidly curious in seeing the other map proposed, it was CBP-5:

    Look at proposed district 3 😂, it's another district that was going to be shaped like a bow-tie.
