Miller, Shuler, and Kissell Biggest Losers in New Congressional Maps
GOP protects incumbents, could pick up as many as four of 13 seats
RALEIGH (By David N. Bass, Carolina Journal Online) — Three Democratic incumbents will face a tough re-election fights next year under new congressional maps released [Friday] by the Republican-controlled state legislature.
The redrawn maps significantly weaken U.S. Reps. Brad Miller, D-13th; Heath Shuler, D-11th; and Larry Kissell, D-8th. Republicans currently have six of 13 congressional seats. If previous voting patterns hold, the GOP could gain a 9-4 or even 10-3 advantage in 2013.
