"It's hard to explain to students who are already skeptical about the voting process and things like that, it's hard to tell them that the state intentionally diluted their power in voting by putting this line back here in between our campus."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Misha Tseytlin, partner, Troutman Sanders:

"The reason that the citizens should care about what the Supreme Court does in the political gerrymandering cases is that those cases will turn on a fundamental principle, which is that our decisions about important things like district lines are going to be done by courts or commissions or are they going to be done by the people's elected representatives? It is my submission that the people in each state should decide who is going to draw their districts."

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Kylah Guion, student, North Carolina A&T:

"I believe that people, people here in this country, in this state, in this city, we all have the power to push people to do the right things. And then, if it doesn't happen, then it can happen another way."

Kylah Guion stands in the middle of Laurel Street, which bisects the campus of historically black North Carolina A&T State University in the city of Greensboro.

To her left is the 6th District, represented by Mark Walker. To her right is the 13th District of Ted Budd

Both white. Both Republicans.

Guion, a sophomore political science major, is a fellow with the group Common Cause, which sued over what they contend is racially gerrymandering that cut her campus in half. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in the case next week.

An Associated Press analysis indicates that Republicans won about 16 more U.S. House seats in 2018 than would have been expected based on their average share of the vote in congressional districts across the country. In state House elections, Republicans' structural advantage might have helped them hold on to as many as seven chambers that otherwise could have flipped to Democrats, according to the analysis.

Guion says some students were disenfranchised because they changed dorms and didn't realize they'd also changed congressional districts. She says she has faith that the Supreme Court will put people over party.
