CASE SUMMARY
On December 4, 2023, plaintiffs brought a federal lawsuit under the 14th and 15th Amendments alleging unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. They seek a judicial declaration that the plan is unconstitutional, an injunction barring the plan from use in future elections, and for the court to require a new, lawful plan be enacted.
A three-judge panel of the Middle District consolidated N.C. NAACP v. Berger with Williams v. Hall on March 18, 2024.
