About NC House District 63
Since the 2018 elections, this district was redrawn by court order to remove the unfair advantage Republican lawmakers gave themselves in drawing the maps. It’s now one of the most competitive opportunities for Democrats to flip a district blue in 2020 if enough left-leaning voters turn out – and vote the full ballot.
