To: Todd Cox, Todd NAACP
Subject: Cromartie Joint Appendix
We are sending you, this evening, all the material sent to Everett on the 25th by fed ex
and the documents we have generated since then. | will send you another package
tomorrow with most of the remaining designations (or fax them if they are not too long).
The biggest things remaining are: clean-up on Peterson's charts, formatting the
Chronology; formatting Weber's report and charts; and of course proofing everything.
The current plan for Weber's report is to delete a rather large portion of it - those parts
pertaining to the 1st district - and reduce the content of the charts accordingly. I've
included a copy of the original report with sections marked for deleting as was given to
us by Everett. | think that you will be able to distinguish the portions he intends to be
deleted. | do not have Tiare's input on that yet, so we haven't formatted it to date.
Gilkeson's Chronology "issue" is being resolved by leaving all the text under the
Congressional heading, deleting what is under the headings for House and Senate, and
putting a header on each page that indicates in bold print the limited purpose for which
the Court admitted the exhibit. Tiare felt it was not worth the fight to edit out the
comments.
Also included in the fed ex package are the two letters regarding the joint appendix that
| have faxed to Everett's office and our "master list" of what has been designated for the
JA. This includes all page and line references from both deposition and trial transcripts.
Call or e-mail if you have any questions or additions.
I'll be out of the office from 11:15 to about 2:00 tomorrow, but in all the rest of the day.

Re: Joint Appendix in Hunt v. Cromartie
Dear Seth:
Attached please find the list of any additions we have made to your designations of
stipulations and trial and deposition transcripts. In most instances we have simply expanded
your designations to add more context.
In looking over what I sent on the 25th, I see that the Cohen Shaw deposition transcript
excerpt is wrong. Our computer file does not match the hard copy of the deposition. 1 will send
you the corrected text in the next mailing, which I hope to get out this afternoon.
Also, some excerpts from Exhibit 100 have been added as follows: pp 18 (last
paragraph) - 21 (line 4) of 97C-28F-4E(1); all the text of 97C-28F-4E(2); pp 1 - 4 (middle of
page) of 97C-28F-4E(3); the remainder of Linwood Jones’ statement on p. 4 of 97C-28F-4E(4);
pp. 10 (last paragraph on Rep. Daughtry) - 12 (ending with “amendment”) of 97C-28F-4F(1).
Again, most of these additions simply put your requested portions in broader context. 1 will send
these sections as soon as we get them formatted.
Sincerely,
Pr

Re: Joint Appendix in Hunt v. Cromartie
Dear Seth:
In trying to get the federal express package off to you with as many of the documents
as possible, I did not take time to include a letter. This fac will explain the materials contained
in the package you should receive this morning.
Please note that we have not yet addressed headings on the documents. What you
receive will not have the final headings as will be used in the Joint Appendix. Also you will
note that the page numbers are not in any sequence at all and vary in form. They will be an
arabic numeral followed by ja, but they will not be put on any documents until we have
finalized the order in which they will appear. Although in the list below, I have attempted to
group like documents together, this is not necessarily indicative of the order for entry in the
Joint Appendix.
Also, I believe I mentioned to you that I have not done a final proofing of all of these
documents. Please fax to me any pages on which you find errors, with the correction noted.
I will do the same on any I find. For your convenience, our fax number is 919-716-6763.

FINDINGS
T. HISTORY OF RECENT CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTINGS
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Following the 1960 Census of Population, the U.S=
Congress in appertioning Congressional seats amofig the states
i
decreased the size of the-North CT urersions) delegation
Co
‘ from 12 to 11 seats. Thus, the North Carolina General Assembly
redistricted the ctase fia total of olFerices in time for
>
rin
use in the 1962- elections. In this plan not a single county was
split across two Congressional districts. This plan was seq TST
1962 and 1964 elections.
»
».8.. Following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Wesberry v..
Sanders (1964), the North Carolina Congressional districting plan
was challenged in Federal ccurt. A three-judge Federal panel
held the plan unconsc itutional in 1965 and. ordered the North
~
=~
Carolina General Assembly to enact = edusticucionsl Congressional
districting plan by Jan. 33, 1966 Fane. Sewell, ___ F.Supp
M.D.N C1965). The- et order spurred the Ns Carolina
General Assembly i the Congressional districts in early
1966, reducing some population disparitxX among the districts.
o® o®
The Federal Court ordered that the General Assembly.
adopt a other plan by July 1, 1967 to further reduce the-
Tong
pcoulation disparities in the plan of EY i of’ 1966. A third
i
rah,
Congressional districting~plan for the 1960s was adopted by the
North Carolina General Assembly on July 3, 1967 and received
~-
Federal Court approval-later that month. Again, the Ceneral
oi
Assembly was able to achieve a plan that reduced population
S.
disparities nile not splitting any counties. This plan was>used
tre 1968 and 1970 elections.
~29. Based on the 1970 Census of Population, the 11
ar
ConoTose! hit] districts of North Carolina were out of balance in
porulation and the General-Assembly had t to adjust the populations
of the 11 districts before the 1972 ‘elections. In 1971, the
General Assembly ata a plan that did not Tie county
and had a maximum population deviation of 3.8 percent. The
districts were used in the elections of 1572-1980.
10. As was true following the 1970 Census of Population,
the 1980 Census of Population revealed that the 11 districts of
the 1970s were out of population balance. Thus, the North
Carolina General Assembly had to adjust the Populationsior the 11
districts before the 1982 elections. The first plan adopted in
July, 1981 did not receive pre-clearance under Section 5 by the
U.S. Department of Justice. The General Assembly followed-up
with a revised plan that satisfied the Department of Justice's
o® o®
objections in a special session of February, 1982. For the first
time in the modern history of North Carolina, it was necessary to
split four counties in order to balance the populations across
the districts. Avery, Johnston, Moore, and Yadkin counties were
each split across two districts. The town of Chapel Hill as well
as the city of High Point were each split across two districts
owing to the fact that those two places cross county lines and
the General Assembly decided to draw the Congressional districts
using county lines between Orange and Durham counties and between
Guilford and Randolph counties. These 11 districts were used in
the elections of 1982-1990.
,
The population of the state of North Carolina grew more
rapidly than the U.S. as a whole between 1980 and 1990, and thus
the Congres Senet apportionment following the 1990 ir of
Population allocated an additional seat to North Carolina,
bringing the size of the Congressional delegaticn back to 12
s=2ats as it had been'in the 1650s. I will not recount the
history of General Assembly action in‘the:early. 1590s on
Congressional districting as\that has been extensively discussed
ini Shaw v. Reno (113 S.Ct. riven and Shaw v. Hunt (861
F.Supp 408, E.D.N.C., 1994; 116. S.Ct )1894, 1995). Suffice it to
say that the Congressional districting plan of the 1990s which
7s
was used in the 1992 and 1994 elections was i
Shaw challenge. The 1996 election was also held using these
4 4 2
disfricts as the North Carolina General Assembly was given Sin
9
o® wh
the 15997 regular sessicn to redraw the Congressional districts.
The 1997 plan as embodied in HB S86 of the North Carolina General
Assembly is under challenge in this action.
12. TI conclude this section by making several observations.
First, the sub-dividing of counties to achieve equally populated
Congressional districts in North Carolina is a relatively recent
occurrence, taking place for the first time with the splitting of
just four counties in the early 1980s. Second, no county in
North Carolina is large enough that it must of necessity be sub-
divided to comply with the principle of "one-person, one-vote".
Mecklenburg Sova the largest county in population in North
Carolina, is slightly smaller than a current Congressional
district. Third, asa matteref principle the—number-of counties.
that wouldineed to be sub-divided--te—eomply with "orne-persorr,
.one-vote""is N-1_the number-of -Congressional-districts. Thus. at
the maximum a total of eleven North Carclina counties might need
by using whole ccunties to create Congressional districts and
then splitting just one county to balance the population between
each of two districts. Fourth, despitetHe Fact £hat the number —

icouldebesas high as 648,104 based on recent state population—
| projectiens) the percentage of African-American persons in the s
10
North Carolina population declined between 1980 and 1990 ff As:
Proreseis Alfred.W.. Stuart! -S-repert—for. this case- reveals, -it-is-
likely- ‘that the African-American percentage of asns total state
population will be less in 2000 ih it was in 1990. Thus, as
the average size of. a Congressional district increases, the
number of African-American persons: of voting age available to
nSt Luts a majority of voters in a Congressional district does
not” increase as-rapidiys(Towill returmto: this POinETT Mora. Lo hi
specifically later). Finally, as I will consistently point out
below, the appropriate social science benchmark for comparison of
the challenged plan is the plan of the 1980s (with 11 districts)
and not the constitutionally invalidated 12 district plan of the
1990s. ‘Thus. in my assessment-of thé challenged plan T™w I TWillhe

14. The question of whether race was the predominant factor
used by the state of North Carolina to draw the boundaries of the
U.S. Congressional districts in 1997 can be addressed by an
examination of both tabular data prepared by the North Carolina
Information Systems Division from data compiled by the U.S.

16% Turning first to District 1, six of the ten counties
wholly within the district have African-American population
majorities and the other four counties have African-American
population percentages of at least 42 percent. The racial make-
up of the parts’ of the ten sub-divided counties dssigned to
District 1 include four with parts over 50 Do African-
American, four others with parts of over 40 percent African-
American, and two wi Bi cf over 30 percent African-American.
The African-American percentage of the total population in the
counties split across Distfict and another district is above
the district-wide Afriéan-American ercentage in four counties.
The African-Amerigin percentage of thé\total population is above
60 percent A County and above 50 percent in Pitt, Wayne,
Counties. Conversely, Table 1 repodxts that the
-American percentage of the total population in the parts
of Most’ of those split counties assigned to another district than
o® oe
District 1 is consistently lower. For example, the partiof==
Lenoir County assigned to District 3 is 13.6 percent Afyrifcan-
American in total population, while the part of Pitt“County
allocated to District 3 is 18.1 percent African-XKmerican in total
7
population. The county splits as they impack” the white majority
>
districts in eastern North Carolina can b€ divided into two
Vd

categories: 1) those county splits for’ the districts where the
“intent usually was to provide Afri€an-American voters to shore up

the electoral bases of candid3rés who might be characterized as
: 3 DEA ;
candidates of choice of African-American voters (e.g. Districts 2 ; %
and 4), and 2) those county splits for the district where the
‘intent usually was to” carve out African-American voters so as not

be characterized as candidates of choice of minority voters (e.g.

does it in the eastern part of the state.
17. Turning next to District 12, the racial make-up of the
parts of the six sub-divided counties assigned to District 12
include three with parts over S0 percent African-American and
three in which the African-American percentage is under 50
percent. Almost 75 percent of the total population in District
12 comes from the three county parts which are majority African-
American in population. Mecklenburg, Forsyth, and Guilford
16
o® »e
counties which contribute almost 75 percent of the district's
total populaticn are located at the extremes of the district.
The other three county parts (Davidson,. Iredell, and Rowan) have
narrow corridors which were designed to pick up as many African-
American persons from each of those counties to £ill out the
district to an ideal sized district. A precinct level map of
District 12 shows that all African-American majority precincts
but one in those three counties have been assigned to the
district. Conversely, Table 1 reports that the African-American
percentage of ithe:total population in the parts of those split
counties assigned to another district than District 12 is
consistently lower. For example, the part of Mecklenburg County
assigned to District 9 is 7.2 percent African-American in total
population, while the part of Forsyth County allocated to
District 5 is 11.1 percent African-American in total population
and the part of Guilford County assigned to District 6 is 10.2
cercent African-American. The county splits as they impact the
white majority districts adjacent to District 12 in the Piedmont
are those county splits for the districts where the intent
usually was to carve out African-American voters so as not to
endanger the electoral bases of the candidates who might not be
characterized as candidates of choice of minority ren (e.g.
Districts 5, 6, and 9). Almost every time there was an
opportunity to use race as the basis for dividing political
subdivisions up politically, the North Carolina Congressional
districting plan does it in the Piedmont part of the state as 2
39
o® »e
well.
18. Table 2 prcvides further confirmation that race was the
predominant factor in the drawing of the lines for the North
Carolina Congressional districts in 1997. This table reports the
exact same data as in Table 1 except that in Table 2 the data are
organized by county rather than Congressional district.
example, the pattern shown in each ofthe ten. counties thdt are
BI District 1 and an adjacent district is ofie in which
of the time the sub-division was along racial fines. All
nties were split along racial lines. The Tost dramatic
examples \from Table 2 include Lenoir County where 61.1 percentgof
the total a allocated to District 1 is African-American
while only 13.6\ percent of the total population assigned to
District 37is African-American, and Wilson County where 51.0

13. The pattern shown in each of the six counties that are
split between District 12 and an adjacent district is one in
which most of the time the sub-division was along racialilines:
All six counties were split along racial lines. The most
dramatic examples from Table 2 include Forsyth County where 72.9
percent of the total population allocated to District 12 is
African-American while only 11.1 percent ofthe total population
assigned to District 5 is Shinnadiiaiipany and Mecklenburg
County where 51.9 percent of the total population allocated to
District 12 is African-American while only 7.2 percent of the
total population assigned to District 9 is African-American.
Similarly, I find Guilford County where 51.5 percent of the total
population allocated to District 12 is African-American while
only 10.2 percent of the total population assigned to District 9
is African-American. A similar pattern holds in the other three
counties of District 12. In each of those counties, the
porulaticn on the District 12 side of the Congressional district
line is more strongly African-American while being more strongly
white on the other side of the line in an adjacent district.
When counties were split to achieve population equality, the
racial composition of the components differ little. When the
splits are for racial purposes, the differences are large.
I can infer from these data that race was a predominant factor in
the line drawing:for Districts 1 and 12 and the adjacent
districts in the 1997 North Carolina Congressional district plan.
el
oh
20.0 To test further whether greater racial disparities
existed when a county split involved Congressional Districts 17
and 12 then when i: did not, I analyzed the magnitude of the
disparity in the percent African-American in the two Li of
each divided ‘county. The results reported below were calculated
\
using the figure obtained when the percent African<American in
N
the portion of the county with the lower African-American
oN nt
: Nex Ta ri : : percentage 1s subtracted from the percent African-American in the
N\,
\
DN ° . 3 . . .
portion of the county having the higher African-American

percentage. These figures‘are calculated using the percentages
7 7
in Table 2 of my report. >

12 1.0% 61.8 33.43. podeS 6
Others 377 23.0 14.38 > 7226 6
The table shows that the ranges, means, and standard deviations
for the two digtricrs ar issue ini this case are much larger than
for the county splits that involved neither Sa
Districts 1 nor 12. These results comport with the othesis
that 1 Sirawins Congressional LCistricts 1 and 12, much eater
tion was given to race than when splitting counties ix other
parts of the state where race was not a consideration.
21. I have also examined data related to city and town
splits in 1997 North Carolina Congressional district plan. These
22
‘data will-be-used-to-determine. whether I-should alter my—opinion
that Facewas—a~ predominant factor in the construction St the~
&rstricts. Using a report titled Places Splitiby 97: North

25. Defendants' experts point out that the 1957 North
-—y ~~
Carolina Congressional districting plan relies almost without
exception to the Tog Tabulation Districts (VIDs) or
precincts as the building blocks for constructing districts.
They note that only two precincts were split in constructing the ps
~
12 districts. One of -these two precincts~\is in Mecklenburg
County and was split to provide a geographical d bridge to}
connect twd parts of District 9 to each other. The precinct in +

w ”»
discussion is Charlotte Precinct 77 and extends to the southern
county-.boundary and the state line with South Carolina. The
precinct is “a.predominantly African-American majority precinct
and the bulk of the people was needed to create a race-based
Se Pe

District 12. Thus, the state split the precinct placing one non-
eo
African-American person in the part ofithe precinct in District
#7
9. If that one person-is a registered voter and does vote in a
rat —.
Congressional election, there will be a ballot™s crecy issue for
that one voter. The other split precinct is in Cravemn County
where 23" persons are put in District 3 rather than District 1
wi remainder of the precinct's residents.
26. The discussion of not ‘splitting precincts by
defendants' experts misunderstands how racially homogeneous
precincts are today in North Carolina and other parts of the
nation. +Qr_ example, both Georgia and South Carolina; —split—only
a small number of precincts in creating their Congressional
Pistricting plans. cf the 1990s But this fact did not prevent
PLaint iS challenges from invalidating Districts 2:andil1ll in
Georgia andifrom attacking-Disbrictas iniSanrhiCALOTiimL.
Louisiana did not split a single precinct in the creation of the
two plans invalidated by the Hays court in the Western District
of Louisiana. Thus, given the homogeneous racial character of
precincts in North Carolina, it is quite possible to draw
districts in which race predominates using whole precincts.

27. Next I present Table 5 which details at the precinct
level by county the assignment of precincts to Congressional
districts for the 22 counties that were split in Creating the
1597 Plan (HB 586). For the counties which were split
Predominantly on the basis of race I expect that the precincts
with the highest percentage of African-American persons will be
Placed in either District 1 or 12 and the precincts with the
highest percentage of non-African-American persons will be placed
in an adjacent district. For the counties which were not split
predominantly on the basis of race, I expect to find a less
Systematic assignment of precincts to the two districts into
which the population is divided. To assist the reader in
following the tables, I have ranked the precincts from high to
: low by the beércentage of African-American population in each
precinct (see Table 5). The table also reports a breakdown of
the voting age population by race as well as the total population
5 by race. Fin ally," the 41 Ct to which the precinct is assigned
in the 1997 Plan 1s noted in the final column of the table.

three townships with the highest percentages of African-American

precincts with lowest percentages of African-American populdtion
are assigned to District 3. Inexplicably, Washington Township is
divided across the two districts, with the bulk of the’ population
assigned to District 1 and just two white persons 7 located to
District 3. The assignment of townships within Beaufort County
between Districts 1 and 3 is consistent with an pattern in

the highest percentages of African-American population are
assigned to District 1, while just one precinct with only 861
persons residing in it allocated to District 3. An examination
Of the Jones County Bap suggests that the split was done to find

39.1 -L turn next _to._the six: counties-divided-between=
Districtil2iand antad]acent districts The patterns revealed in
Tables 1-4 are reinforced by the precinct level data in Table 5
for the six split counties of District 12." Two groupings of
counties are most apparent: those where the difference between
African-American .percentage of the total population assigned to
District 12 is greater than 20 percentage points higher than the
African-American percentage assigned to the adjacent district and :
38
oo we
those where the difference in the African-American percentage is
less than 20 percentage points. Forsyth, Guilford, Mecklenburg,
and Rowan counties fall into the former category, while Davidson,
and Iredell counties are in the latter category.
40. TI first examine the precinct assignment pattern for
Forsyth County which includes the city of Winston-Salem and where
the most severe of racial disparities exist between Districts 5
and 12.%-Aa11915 African-American majority precincts in the county
are assigned to District 12, while all but four of the white
majority precincts in Forsyth County are assigned to District 5.
No precinct in which more than 20.39 percent of the total
population is African-American is. allocated to Districti5: The
assignment of Forsyth County precincts between Districts 5 and 12
is the clearest pattern of the predominant use of race in the
creation of District 12 in the 1997 Plan in the Piedmont region
cf North Carolinz.
41. TI next look at the precinct assignment pattern for
Mecklenburg County which includes the city of Charlotte and where
Very severe racial disparities exist between Districts 9 and 12.
All 28 African-American majority precincts in the county are
assigned to District 12, while all the precincts where around 85
percent or more of the population is white in Mecklenburg County
are assigned to District 9. Some white majority precincts are
allocated to District 12, but for the most part these assignments

are made to provide contiguous paths from the African-American
majority precincts north to Iredeil County so as to connect
African-American Populations in Charlotte with those in Winston-
Salem, High Point, and Creensboro. The assignment of Mecklenburg
County precincts between Districts 9 and 12 shows gz very clear
Pattern of the Predominant use of race in the creation of
District 12 in the 1997 plan in the Piedmont region of North
Carolina.
42. I next examine the precinct assignment pattern for
Guilford County which includes the cities of Greensboro and High
6 and i122. Al11%317 African-American majority precincts in the
county (all of which are in either Greensboro or High Point) are
assigned to District 12, while almost all of the precincts where
arcund 80 percent or more of the population is white in Guilford
County are &ssignec to District 6. Some white majority precincts
are allccated to Di in

43. I next examine the precinct assignment pattern for
Rowan County including the city of Salisbury which is split
between Districts 6 and 12. Three of the four African-American
majority precincts in the county (the one African-American
majority precinct assigned to District 6 is a small non-
contiguous part of large white majority precinct)are assigned to
District 12, while almost all of the precincts where around 80
percent or more of the population is white in Rowan County are
assigned to District 6. Some white majority precincts are
allocated to District 12 to provide contiguous paths from Iredell
County to Davidson County so as to connect African-American
population concentrations in Charlotte with those in Winston-
Salem, High Point, and Greensboro. The assignment of Rowan
County precincts between Districts 6 and 12 is another clear
pattern -ofithe predominant use of race in the creation of
District: 123in the 1997 Plan in the Piedmont region of North

Congressional District 12 and an adjacent district where the
difference in the African-American percentage of the total
population is less than 20 percentage points, I examine first
Iredell County. Only nine precincts in this county are assigned
to Congressional -District 12," including two African-American
majority precincts in the city of Statesville. The white
majority precincts allocated to District 12 are there to provide
41

contiguous paths from Mecklenburg County to Rowan County so as to
connect African-American Population concentrations in Charlotte
with those in Winston-Salem, High Point, and Greensboro. The
assignment of Iredell County precincts between Districts 10 and
12 provides further evidence of a pattern of the predominant use
of race in the creation of District 12 in the 1997 Plan in the
Piedmont region of North Carolina.
45. I next examine the assignment of precincts between
Congressional Districts g and 12 in Davidson County. A total of
20 precincts in this county are assigned to Congressional
Districri12, including two African-American majority precincts in
the cityiof Lexington and one in .the city of Thomasville. The
white majority precincts allocated to District 12 are there to
provide contiguous paths from Rowan County to Forsyth and
Guilford counties so as to connect African-American population
concentrations in Charlotte with those in Winston-Szlem, Eigh
Point, and Greensboro. The assignment of Davidson County
precincts between Districts 6 and 12 provides further evidence of
a pattern of the predominant use of race in the creation of

counties, cities, towns; and precincts. The state of North Erni er re en
Carolina subordinated the splitting of county, city, and town
boundaries to az desire to allocate persons by race to a greater
43
i wh
extent than necessary to comply with the one-person, one-vote
standard of population equality. This was particularly true in
the. drawing of Districts 1 and 12 as well as adjacent districts.
A total cf 22 counties and 41 cities and towns were split in the
drawing of the 1997 North Carolina Congressional districting
plan, for a total of 63 split political subdivisions. Only six
counties and 15 cities and towns were split to create the other
districts (several of the cities and towns were split because
they are on a county boundary and different counties were
assigned to different districts). In the recent past no counties
had been split to create the 11 districts of the 1960s and 1970s,
while just four had been split to construct the 11 districts of
the 1980s. The maximum number of counties needed to be split to
fashion a 12 district plan is 11, allowing for one county to be
split between each two districts.
48. A report by David C. Huckabee, "Congressicnal
Districts: Objectively Evaluating Shapes," CR por: for
congress (Washington: Congressional Research Service, The Library
of Congress), May 24, 1994, also contains information from other
states to compare with the experience of North Carolina in
Congressional districting.

495. Huckabee also provides information on the percentage of
split counties allocated to the Congressional districts of the
1990s. There are a large number of Congressional districts from
around the nation which have 100 percent of the counties split
which are allocated to a district. Most of these are plans
involving splits of large counties in the metropolitan areas of
the country and these Plans are not comparable to the North
Carolina setting. No single district in the country is like
North Carolina 12 in splitting as many as six counties and sub-
dividing 100 percent of them.
50. Huckabee also provides information on the number of

S53. A second way to assess the compactness of a
Congressional district is to use -a variety of compactness
measures now standard in political science. These measures are
reported upon in two works--1) Richard H. Pildes and Richard G.
Niemi, "Expressive Harms, 'Bizarre Districts, znd Voting Rights:

actual computations of the compactness scores reported in these
two works were conducted by Kimball Brace and Douglas Chapin of
Election Data Services, Inc., Washington, D.C.

Assessment Gof the political character of z district is post-hoc

. 60. ~— Professor Peterson concentrates on the margins of 7 -

Congressional District 32; e..ilgnores the core. ‘His measure

the core of the district rather than focusing on the periphery,
where decisions probably came late in the process, ile, is
precinct X to be included or excluded. A
61. Professor Peterson's segment analysis is flawed.
Unless adjacent precincts inside and outside of Congressional
District 12 have Equal noruiations, then it would not be possible
. Lo substitute one for the\other. In other words, an outside
precinct may have keen rejected because its inclusion -- or more
likely the substitution of tHe precincts needed to eliminate the
Type R divergences -- would have violated the equal population
\
requirement. Professor Peterson ‘needs to demonstrate that when
comparing inside and outside Semating they have nearly equal
populations. Unless the population differences are‘trivial, fit
would be necessary for him to make comparisons on groups of
_Drecincts inside and outside Congressional District 12 that have
nearly equal populations.
62. According to Professor Peterson at co men #9 of his
‘affidavit of February 27, 1998, a perfect correlition requires
that a precinct would never be excluded if it has more African-
American persons than an adjacent included precinct. \ One problem
with making this- precinct-by-precinct assessment is that failure
Lo include a precinct that is six percent African-Americ counts

because elsewhere in the district a 40 percent African-American

63. Since with rare exceptions in North Carolina, African- :
American voters cast more than 90 percent ‘of their votes for
Democratic candidates in general elections, while white voters
usually cast about 60 to 70 Peresat of their votes for Republican
candidates, the Democratic vote “in a precinct will usually exceed
the black voter percentage in the precinct. If the thesis of
Professor Peterson is rue, one would tind that all African-
American population majority precincts would be assigned to
EN District 12 along with all non-African-Ameriean majority
BN
precincts where an African-American Demccratic ‘candidate carried
the precinct in a recent election. As I:will demonstrate below,
the former occurred, but the latter did not always otcur. This
analysis will further demonstrate the power of the racid
explanation and debunk the political explanation for the
boundaries of Congressional District 12.
64. To exami — Onl outlined above, ave
examined the ‘assignment Of precincts within the Six Counties—of
(Congressional Di strict-i2,leoking alternatively SE ARE Gruent Ey
‘kace_and-by-—political prefererices: I have constructed a set of

J ph
tables which Cross-tabulate the racial makeup of the population
of each precinct by county with the Democratic registration
Percentage, the Percentage of support for Democrat Harvey Gantt
in the 1990 U.S. Senate contest, and the percentages of support
for the Democratic candidates for Lieutenant Governor and Court
of Appeals Judge in the 1988 general election. This Cross-
tabulation will revealithat all African-American majority
Population precincts are assigned to District 12 from the six
counties and that many of the precincts carried by Democratic
candidates in the EWO contests of 1988 and the one contest of
1990 were not necessarily assigned to District 12.
65. These results are displayed in Table 6 for each?ofithe
Six counties and for Congressional District 12 as a whole. Bub
four Davidson County precincts more than 30 percent African-
American are in Congressional District 12. The weakest support
for a racial explanation comes from the 1990 Gantt table as four
of the five Precincts in wnich he polled a majority were placed
in Congressional Districe®i1a! Charlotte's former mayor ran
poorly in Davidson County, being held below 30% of the vote in 23
of the 41 Precincts. Table 6 for Davidson County also
demonstrates that most of the precincts less than 30 percent
African-American in population but in which most voters are
registered Democrats were excluded from Congressional District
12. Analyses of the contests for lieutenant governor and Court

rit 1s highly unlikely
that the precinct will be included in Congressional District 12.
67. [E-next turn to the Table 6 portion for Guitferd-€ounty.
All 17 majority African-American Guilford County precincts are in
Congressional District 12. However a number of precincts that
are majority ay on the various measures are outside
Congressional District 12. The contrast is proncunced in terms
70
at Ne
of party registration where three-fourths of the precincts SO; -
52.95 percent Democratic By registration are in Congressional
District 6 rather than Congressional District 12. Even in the 60
~:69.80% Inercentr registration range, most precincts are excluded
from Congressional Districtii2; Similarly with the Gantt vote in
1990, 18 of 22 precincts in which Gantt got 50 - 69.99 percent of
the vote are outside Congressional District 12. The pattern
repeats with the cther two sets of election data. 2ll of the
heavily black Population precincts are in Congressional District
12 while only some of the heavily Democratic precincts are
included.
68. L nexc turn to the Table. 6-portion—for-Iredell—Countys
All three Iredell County precincts more than 30 percent African-
American in population are in Congressional District 12 while 15
CZ 21 precincts less than 30 percent African-American ere in
cngressional District 10. The strongest evidence of & racial
explanation comes from the Party registration analysis where 13
of the 19 precincts less than 30 percent African-American black
but majority Democratic in registration are excluded from
Congressional District 12. The party explanation is best
supported by the 1990 Gantt analysis in which the only four
precincts carried by the African-American candidate are in
Congressional District 12. Despite all but two precincts having os

Democratic registration majorities, no more than four precincts
€Ver cast a majcrity of their votes for Democrats. If I lower -—

racial explanation.

Focusing on the Gantt vote in 1990, the bulk of the 30 - 39.9
percent African-American precincts in which he polled 60 ~- 69.9
percent of the vote are outside Congressional District 12. The
1983 Court of Arpeals vote provides the strongest support for a
party explanation for districting. If, however, I include
precincts in which Democratic strength is 40 - 49.9 percent, then
72
o® »e
MOSt of the precincts are in Congressional District 8S, for. al}
four measures of Partisanship.
70. [I next turn to the Table 6 portion for. Rowan County.
Rowan County has only three majority African-American population
Precincts (all more than 70 African-American) and these are
assigned to Congressional District 12. The majority-white
Precincts in Congressional District 12 tend to be the ones with
the strongest Support for Democrats. Every precinct that gave
Gantt in 1990 a majority is in Congressional District 12 and all
dut one precinct that voted Democratic for lieutenant governor or
Court ofiappeals in 1988 is in Congressional District 12. The
Strongest evidence for the racial explanation comes from the

which demonstrated their willingness to support Democratic

districts and not Congressional District 12. For example, 60 of
the 98 white majority precincts won by Harvey Gannt in 1990 were
assigned to another district. Tf the motivation was to create a
Democratic majority Congressional District 12 which was
hospitable to an African-American Democratic candidate in the
1990:U7S. Senate contest, a large proportion of favorable turf is
not included in the district. A partisan district would have

voting is common ir the Parts cf the state where Congressional

of the North Carolina congressional districting plan under

VII. ELECTORAI, SAFENESS OF CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS 1 "AND 12
82. To assess the electoral safety of Congressional
Districts 1 and 12 in the North Carolina Congressional
districting plan of 1997, I use electoral history included in the
1938 reports of plaintiffs' expert Lee Mortimer and defendants’
expert David W. Peterson as well as reconstituted election
results for a number of Ly statewide elections. In my
scholarly work on state legislative elections, I consider any
election in which one candidate gets 60 percent or more of the
total vote among two candidates as being a non-competitive

Exhibit E of the Mortimer report. This findinx suggests that

85. I have also reconstituted the precinct election returns

from nine recent statewide elections: the 1990 U.S. Senate
Democratic primary, runoff, and general elections; the 1992 State
Auditor Democratic primary and general elections; the 15956:U.8.
Senate and State Auditor general elections; and the 1998 U.S.
Senate Democratic Primary and general elections. By El iccating
the precincts within Districts 1 and 12 to both the 1997 and 1998
plans, I can determine how the various statewide candidates would
have performed within the two sets of districts. These results
are -summarized in Exhibit E. Candidates of choice of African-
American voters are winning the Democratic primaries or runoffs
within both districts of both plans. And candidates of choice of
African-American voters are usually winning more than 60 percent
of the vote in the general elections within both districts under
both plans. These analyses suggest that neither the 1997 nor the
1998 plan is narrowly tailored.
CONCLUSION
86. On the basis of my above analysis, I conclude:
1) that race was the predominant factor aved by the
state of North Carolina to draw the boundaries of the
1997 U.S. Congressional districts; :
(2) that the state of North Carolina in creating the
1997 U.S. Congressional districting plan subordinated
traditional race-neutral districting principles, such
as compactness, contiguity, respect for political
88
o®
wh J
subdivisions or communities defined by actual shared
interests, to racial considerations;
(3) that the political explanation for the Plan A
Congressional districts adopted in 1997 offered by
state defendants and their expert Professor Peterson is
flawed And-Gap—ee—CHarattE rized a5—a post-hoc

rinciples to
(5) that African-American voters residing in Districts
1 and 12 in the Act 586 plan of 1997 do not participate
at lower rates than white voters in recent state-wide
Democratic primary and runoff elections, indicating any
evidence that a history of official discrimination has
not led to politically significant differences in
political participation in Democratic primary elections
in the districts as drawn in 1997 (there are
participation differences between African-American and
white voters in general elections held within the two
districts of the 1997 plan, indicating that candidates
of choice of African-American voters will need some

(6) that more than sufficient levels of white crossover
voting exists in the northeast and Piedmont regions of
North Carolina such that fair U.S. Congressional
districts can be drawn that do not need to be majority
African-American in voting age population or voter
registration in order to allow African-American voters
a reasonable opportunity to elect candidates of choice
in U.S. Congressional elections; and
(7) that U.S. Congressional Districts 1 and 12 in the
1597 North Carolina plan are overly safe from the
standpoint of giving a candidate of choice of African-
American voters an opportunity to be elected, thus
questioning whether the plan was narrowly tailored to
satisfy a compelling state interest.
