A North Carolina gerrymandering effort could oust a Democratic lawmaker who wrote a bill to make it illegal for lawmakers to gerrymander

• US Rep. Jeff Jackson, a Democrat, predicted he would be targeted by gerrymandering Republicans.
• Jackson earlier filed a bill to curtail gerrymandering when he was a North Carolina state lawmaker.
• The bill never made it to a vote. Now Jackson says the state's GOP has him on the chopping block.

A US Congressman who tried to make it illegal for politicians to gerrymander may be ousted from his congressional district.
