A panel of three federal judges held Monday that North Carolina’s congressional districts were unconstitutionally gerrymandered to aide Republicans over Democrats and said it may require new districts before the November elections, possibly impacting control of the House.

The judges acknowledged that primary elections have already produced candidates for the 2018 elections but said they were reluctant to let elections take place in congressional districts that it has twice found violate constitutional standards.
