Redistricting
North Carolina's congressional districts after 2010 census redistricting [3] A redistricting map, drawn to reflect changes observed in the 2010 United States census , was passed into law in July 2011. The map must receive approval from either the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or the U.S. Department of Justice before it can be enforced (under the 1965 Voting Rights Act ).[4] National Association for the Advancement of Colored People challenged the map on the grounds that it reduces the influence of African American voters.[5]
District 1
2012 North Carolina's 1st congressional district election
Incumbent Democrat G. K. Butterfield , who had represented the district since 2004, ran for re-election. The 1st district, which is majority-minority and already strongly favored Democrats, favored them even more so after redistricting.[4] PVI of D+17, where the old 1st had a PVI of D+9.

McIntyre was heavily targeted by Republicans, especially after the GOP-controlled North Carolina General Assembly had redrawn congressional boundaries to put his home in Robeson County into the 8th district, something that McIntyre accused the GOP of doing “solely for the reason of giving my opponent a seat in Congress”.[46]
Nearly $9 million was spent by both parties,[47] Nancy Pelosi and for the stimulus .
