THOMAS M, STERN November 7, 1984 Bill Yoemans United States Department of Justice Civit Rights Division Appellate Section Room 5734 1Oth aPennsylvania Streets Washington, D.C. 20530 RE: Edmisten v. Ginqles Dear Bill: As you requested on the telephone, I have enclosed a copy of the summary of statistics concerning our analysis of raciatly polarized voting in Gingles v. Edmisten as werr as a copy of the deposition of Representative Hauser. r have arso enclosed a copy of plain- tiffsr Exhibits 19 and 4I. I sugqest that you ignore the top half of PlaintiffsrExhibit 19 which turned out to be not very probative. The bottom half shows that even in L982 black demo- crats did worst than white democrats. It also shows what an unusually bad year L9B2 was for Republicians in North Caro1ina. Plaintiffsr Exhibit 4L is the graph of North Carolina black elected officials. It does stop in 1981. However, if you look at page 285 of the transcript, Dr. Watson testifies that there is no substantial change between 1981 and L982. If you have any guestions about any of these exhibits, or for that matter about anything in the record, I will be happy to attempt to answer them. I appreciate your careful attention to this matter. \ U;*-- Winner LJW: ofh Enclosure cc : Ms . Lani Gui ni er t,/ Sincerely,
