Newly gerrymandered district conveniently includes senator's new house

"That’s what North Carolina State Senator Ben Clark of the state’s 21st district did after he bought a home in the 19th district. " is a flat out lie, and should be updated.

Clark voted to approve because the courts imposed a Friday deadline for new districting plans, and Clarke was on the committee stage of the proposal, before it gets its vote in the general assembly. The Dem strategy, being in minority, seems to be to let the GOP go forward with their plan and have the courts (which forced this redistricting in the first place) throw them out.
