Republican Rep. to Step Down After Redrawn Maps Undue GOP Gerrymander
George Holding (R-N.C.) is the second Republican this week to announce he would not seek reelection in 2020. Rep. Tom Graves (Re- Ga.) said Thursday he would be retiring as well.
George Holding said Friday he would not run for reelection in 2020 after North Carolina’s electoral map was redrawn to undo a Republican gerrymander, leaving him with a heavily Democratic district.
Holding and Graves join at least 20 other House Republicans who have said they are not seeking reelection or other offices next year. Four GOP senators have also announced their resignations, according to The Atlantic.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.If the election is lost ,at least if it is held in an even and fair manner,then so be it.All elections should be contested in a fair and equitable fashion,making the reversal of the obvious gerrymandering is welcome.
