Gerrymandering leaves NC voters with few choices in 2016

http://www.commoncause.org/states/north-carolina/gerrymandering-leaves-nc.html
"Candidate filing concluded Monday and nearly half of North Carolina's legislative races will have just one name on the ballot come November. Forty-one races for the NC House and 13 contests for the NC Senate fielded a single candidate by the close of filing. An additional 16 House and 2 Senate races will be decided solely in the primary. Ultimately, 72 of the state's 170 seats – or 42 percent – will be decided before a single vote is cast"
