On November 25, a 3-judge U.S. District Court declined to postpone the North Carolina primary election, which will be held March 15, 2016. The postponement of the primary had been requested by the plaintiffs in Covington v State. They argue that the legislative districts are invalid. The decision says that the federal court will keep jurisdiction of the case (even though the State Supreme Court has a similar case pending), but the federal court is unwilling to disrupt the upcoming primary. Here is the decision.
