MICHAEL F. EASLEY Department of Justice ATTORNEY GENERAL IAN ~ QQC P.O. BOX 629 REPLY TO: Edwin M: Speas, ir RALEIGH Special Litigation 27602-0629 (919) 716-6900 FAX: (919) 716-6763 January 35, 1999 Mr. William K. Suter Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States One 1st Street, NE Washington, DC 20543 Re: Clarification of Map in Hunt v. Cromartie, No. 98-85 Dear Mr. Suter: The purpose of this letter is to make a clarification regarding the legend on the map appearing at 12a in the State Appellants’ Reply Brief on the Merits. which was filed with the Court on December 29, 1998. The map at 12a, “Forsyth County District 12 Precincts,” depicts District 12 precincts with lower democratic registration rates than adjacent non-District 12 precincts. The “red” legend of this map should note that there are no such precincts in this county. Compare Mecklenburg County Map at 11a, where the legend notes there are no such precincts; contrast Guilford County Map at 13a, which shows there are two such precincts. Enclosed please find the required additional 40 copies of this letter for distribution to the Court as appropriate. Very truly yours, J 7 / Edwin M. Speas, Jr. Senior Deputy Attorney General EMSjr/fc CC: Robinson O. Everett All Counsel of Record
