Stein talked about working together with Republicans, ending partisan gerrymandering and what message North Carolina voters sent lawmakers about what they want them to do. The message North Carolina voters sent “Last night was an incredible night for the country, of course, but especially so for us here in North Carolina,” Stein told reporters during a news conference outside the Executive Mansion in downtown Raleigh. “The voters of North Carolina made their voices heard loudly and clearly. They want balance. They want common sense in their government.” “The voters want leaders who work together on their behalf. Our job as those elected leaders is to listen and to work together because we can work together to lower costs.” On getting rid of the ‘political cancer’ of gerrymandering Stein told reporters he would support an independent redistricting commission following years of Republicans gerrymandering districts in their favor. “There are a few causes of the political cancers that we suffer from in this country. Partisan gerrymandering is certainly one,”
