Approximately 25.7% of the African-Americans who were in District 12 in the 1992 plan
were moved out of District 12 in the 1997 plan. Approximately 74.3% of the African-
Americans who were in District 12 in the 1992 plan continue to be in District 12 in the
1997 plan.

Approximately 31.6% of all persons who were in District 12 in the 1992 plan were moved
out of District 12 in the 1997 plan. Approximately 68.4% of all persons who were in
District 12 in the 1992 plan continue to be in District 12 in the 1997 plan.

41.6% of the geographic area assigned to District 12 in the 1992 Plan remained assigned

180,984 people assigned to District 1 in the 1992 Plan and 174,471 people assigned to
District 12 in the 1992 Plan were assigned to other congressional districts in the 1997
Plan.

Over 25 % of North Carolina’s population (1.6 million persons) and almost 25% of the
State’s geography were assigned to new congressional districts as a result of the 1997
redistricting.

]

On average, 76.4 % of the geographic area in each of North Carolina’s twelve
congressional districts in the 1992 Plan was in the corresponding districts in the 1997
Plan, ranging from a high of 96.7 % for District 11 to a low of 41.6 % for District 12.

Based on the 1990 Federal Census, District 1 in both the 1997 and 1998 plans is 50.27%
African-American in total population and 46.54% African-American in voting age
population.

The First Congressional District is comprised of ten whole counties and portions of ten
others.

oh wh

Five counties in North Carolina are majority African-American in total population, namely
Edgecombe, Bertie, Hertford, Northampton, and Warren. In addition, Halifax and Hoke
Counties are plurality African-American, but are not a majority because of Native
American and “other” racial categories.

Six of these African-American majority or plurality counties are included in whole in
District 1 in the 1997 plan. Hoke County is not included.

Each of the districts of the 1997 plan is composed of contiguous territory.

The portion of the City of New Bern assigned to District 1is 48. 27% black, while the
portion assigned to District 3 is 24.49% black.

TECHNICAL AND POLITICAL DETAILS

Data on precinct boundaries for 48 counties were taken from the US Bureau of the
Census IVTD TIGER files and placed on the North Carolina General Assembly’s
redistricting computer system in the late 1990. Population data were received in late
February, 1991, and placed on the data base.

The staff of the General Assembly added precinct boundaries to the North Carolina
General Assembly computer system data base for 21 additional counties: Anson, Bertie,
Camden, Caswell, Franklin, Gates Greene, Hertford, Hoke, Lee, Lincoln, Martin,
Mitchell, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Person, Tyrell, Vance, Warren, and
Yadkin. These precincts were added so that, just as for the other 48 counties on the data
base, divisions below county lines potentially could be made.

For purposes of one person, one vote, a plan with almost zero deviation would contain
approximately 552,386 persons in each of North Carolina’s 12 congressional districts,
based on the 1990 Federal Census.

II. CONTENTIONS

A. Plaintiffs’ Factual Contentions

1. A significant number of persons were either included or excluded from the 1997

version of District 12 on the basis of race.

2. The General Assembly's predominant racial motive is revealed by:

a. The racial assignment of precincts, parts of cities, and parts of counties in the

construction of the challenged districts.

~ b. the sequence in which redistricting plans were developed after the Supreme

Court decision in Shaw v. Hunt

c. recorded statements and correspondence by legislators and legislative staff

contained in the legislative record, Section 5 preclearance submission, and internal

E-mail.

d. The quick agreement on the heavily black districts 1 and 12.

wh oo

e. the retention of the racial cores of District 1 and District 12

f. Disregard for traditional redistricting principles such as respect for the

boundaries of cities, counties and other political subdivisions, geographic

compactness, contiguity and communities of interest resulting from geographic

proximity

g. The concern about complying with the Department of Justice maximization

policy

h. The advice given to the General Assembly that a district which was not

majority-minority was not subject to Shaw v. Reno

1. The history of the 1992 plan and the relation of the 1997 plan to the 1992 plan

which make clear that the later plan maintains the “vestiges” of the earlier plan and

is the “fruit” of the unconstitutional Twelfth District and First District in the 1992

plan.

J. The pretextual explanations and post hoc rationalizations offered in defense of

the 1997 plan

" The results of the congressional election in District 12 under the 1998 plan,

which revealed that a politically safe “Democratic” 12® district could be drawn

without linking together geographically dispersed black communities in six

counties in order that the total minority population would be around 47%.

-10-

oo ow»

I. The inconsistency between the results of the Associated Press survey taken of

legislators in late 1996 and the defendants’ claim that the 1997 redistricting plan

had a predominately political motive.

3. The efforts to claim a political motive for the First and the Twelfth Districts of the

1997 plan are pretextual.

a. The claim that “partisan balance” drove the formation of these districts has

been misused repeatedly by the state defendants throughout the 1990s.

b. The statistical analysis by Dr. Peterson is neither reliable nor relevant because

it ignores heavily black internal precincts in the 12% District, does not give varying

weight to the varying population and minority population in his “segment

analysis”, uses flawed data, which whet corrected, would lead to a contrary

conclusion, and is riddled with numerous additional errors, and which render the

report inadmissible.

c. The challenged districts are overly safe for Democratic candidates, but are

instead constructed so that blacks predominate in the Democratic primary

electorate, and so that nomination and election of African- Americans to Congress

1s assured.

4. No compelling government interest has been shown to exist for creating the racially

gerrymandered Twelfth District or the racially gerrymandered First District, as is revealed by:

a. The unwarranted effort on the part of the General Assembly to comply with the

unconstitutional maximization policy of the Department of Justice in its

administration of Section 5 preclearance.

“11

or wh
b. The inability of the defendants or anyone else to show that a geographically

compact district can be created in which a majority of the voting age population is

African-American.

c. The geographic dispersion of African-Americans in North Carolina, as a result

of which only 5 of 100 counties have a majority black population and no

geographically compact district can be created wherein a majority of its total

population is African-American.

d. The statements by officials of the State in the past which acknowledged that

such a geographically compact district can not be created in North Carolina.

e. The reliance by the defendants on an undefined and undefinable concept of

“functional compactness”, which is used to support their unconstitutional theory

that a person of one race has less community of interest with a person of another

race in his own city or county than he has with a person of his own race located in

a distant city or county.

f. The attempt to justify the racial composition of District 12 and 1 by reliance on

purposes such as partisan balance and incumbent protection, which are clearly not

compelling government interests.

5. Even if some compelling governmental interest could be imagined for either the 12%

District or the 1% District, neither District 12 nor District 1 of the 1997 plan is narrowly

tailored to further that interest.

wh pC

a. The districts are not narrowly tailored by shape and disregard geographical

compactness.

b. The districts are not narrowly wiloded because they unnecessarily violate the

integrity of political subdivisions.

c. The districts are not narrowly tailored in their racial composition because they

overconcentrate African Americans and thereby unduly reduce minority

participation in the electoral process in other districts.

d. The districts are not narrowly tailored because they concentrate African

Americans far more than is necessary for them to elect a candidate of their choice.

B. Plaintiffs’ Contested Legal Contentions

1. Plaintiffs in this action are not barred by claim preclusion from presenting their claims as

a result of the Shaw litigation.

2. Because of the unconstitutionality of the 12% and 1* Districts in the 1992 plan, the

General Assembly was not free to use that plan as a benchmark and to draw the 1997 plan so as

to preserve its Ali cores.

3. The General Assembly had a duty to remove all vestiges of the unconstitutional 12 a
and 1* Districts in the 1992 plan and clearly the evidence fails to establish that this duty was

fulfilled.

4. In order for Thornburg v. Gingles to apply to any district in North Carolina, it must be

shown that a district can be formed which js geographically compact and in which the majority of

exclusion under Daubert because it is neither reliable nor relevant.

7. In the event the Court concludes that the 1997 redistricting plan is unconstitutional,

then because of the repeated failure of the General Assembly to prepare a constitutional plan, the

Court should proceed-with the aid of a special master if it so chooses-to draw a plan that is not

«14x

wh o®

predominately race based, is not a “vestige” or “fruit” of the 1992 plan, and will be used as a

remedial plan for the year 2000 elections.

8. Plaintiffs have standing because all but one are registered voters in the district that they

are attacking, and the other plaintiff Linville has standing since he and his precinct were removed

from one district to another on the basis of race.

9. The plaintiffs’ motion should be granted to further amend the complaint in order to

conform with the expected evidence that will establish plaintiff Linville’s standing, by proving that

he is white and that his predominantly white precinct was moved from the Twelfth District

because of race.

10. The Court should declare the 1997 plan unconstitutional and enjoin its use in

primaries or general election. The Court should prepare or direct the preparation of a

constitutional remedial plan for use in the 2000 election, because the General Assembly has

forfeited its right to prepare another plan by repeatedly failing to adopt a legal plan.

i
C. Defendant and Defendant-Intervenors Factual Contentions

L Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that plaintiff James Ronald Linville

resides in Congressional District 5 of the 1997 Plan, and cannot establish any personal injury as a

result of being included in District 5.

2 Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that race was not the predominant

factor in the creation of Congressional District 1 or Congressional District 12 of the 1997

Reapportionment Plan and that the General Assembly did not subordinate traditional redistricting

criteria to racial considerations in creating Congressional District 1 or Congressional District 12

of the 1997 Plan.

3. Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that the North Carolina General

Assembly had two primary redistricting goals in 1997. The first was to remedy constitutional

defects found by the Supreme Court in the 1992 Plan, including the predominance of racial

considerations underlying the shape and location of District 12. Although District 1 in the 1992

Plan was never determined to be unconstitutional, District 1 also was redrawn with the lessons

from District 12 in mind. The General Assembly accomplished its goal by utilizing a variety of

different redistricting techniques, including: 1) avoiding any division of precincts and of counties

to the extent posi 2) avoiding use of narrow corridors to connect concentrations of minority

voters; 3) striving for geographical compactness without use of artificial devices such as double

Cross-overs or point contiguity; 4) pursuing functional compactness by grouping together citizens

with similar interests and needs; and 5) seeking to create districts that provide easy

communication among voters and their representatives. The second, but equally important, goal

was to preserve the even (six Republican and six Democratic members) partisan balance in North

«16+

we wo
Carolina's then-existing congressional delegation. With the State House of Representatives

controlled by Republicans and the State Senate controlled by Democrats, preserving the same

partisan balance in the congressional delegation was essential to ensure that the General Assembly

would be able to agree on a remedial plan. The General Assembly felt, as a matter of policy, that

the legislature, rather than the fodder] district court, had a constitutional duty to perform the

- necessary balancing of various interests to devise a new redistricting plan,

4. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that the General Assembly

succeeded in reaching its stated redistricting goals.

a. While the 1992 Plan divided 80 precincts and 44 counties, the 1997 Plan

only divides two precincts and 22 counties.

b. District 1 in the 1992 Plan divided 25 precincts while District 1 in the 1997

Plan does not divide any precincts. District 1 joins citizens together in the mostly

rural, economically depressed counties in the northern and central Coastal Plain.

C. District 12 in the 1997 Plan is significantly more compact geographically

than it was in the 1992 Plan. The new District 12 contains parts of six counties,

rather than ten, and it does not have any areas of only "point contiguity" and does

not contain any "cross-overs" or "double-cross-overs" as it did in the 1992 Plan.

, In the 1992 plan, District 12's boundaries divided 48 precincts, while District 12 in

the 1997 Plan divides only one. The boundaries of the new District 12 were

determined by partisan considerations and a desire to have an essentially urban,

Democratic district in the Piedmont region. As a result, District 12's

African-American total population was reduced from the original 56.63 percent in

“17-

wh oh

the 1992 Plan to 46.67 percent and the voting-age population was reduced from

the original 53.34 percent in the 1992 plan to 43.36 percent.

d. Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that Districts 1 and 12 each

encompass a distinct community of interest. District 1 is a distinctly rural district

whose residents are largely poor. The economy of the region in which the district

is located is depressed and relies heavily on agriculture and logging and districts

residents are employed largely in agricultural businesses. The concerns of the

residents of District 1 are those of a rural population, including, unemployment and

economic development in an environment in which limited job opportunities are

available. However, District 12 is a largely urban district and the residents share

common economic interests in areas, including manufacturing, research, banking

and higher education. The residents are largely employed in blue collar, suburban,

and urban employment, rather than in agricultural businesses. The interests of the

residents of District 12 are those of a largely urban populous, including mass

transportation, urban crime problems, unemployment, and housing and economic

development concerns.

S. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that District 12 was drawn

- specifically to create a Democratic performing district with no intent to have a particular - - --

African-American percentage. The configuration of District 12 reflects the strong correlation

between the racial composition of the precincts and party preference of African-Americans in the

district.

-18-

6. Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that during the 1997 redistricting

process, the North Carolina General Assembly was concerned that, when creating District 1 in the

1997 Plan, the Civil Rights Dividin might deny Section 5 preclearance if the General Assembly

failed to create a majority-minority district in the general area comprising District 1. Prior to

negotiating the 1997 Plan, the State House and State Senate each independently proposed plans

which included-a geographically compact majority African-American district in the northeastern

and central Coastal Plan. Further, it was important to the General Assembly that the 1997 Plan

provide fair and equitable electoral opportunities to all citizens of North Carolina. Consequently,

members of the General Assembly were concerned that failure to create a district in northeastern

portion of the state that provided African-American voters an equal opportunity to elect

candidates of choice would elicit significant opposition in the African-American community and

its advocates in the General Assembly which most likely would result in a denial of Section 5

preclearance.

4 Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that the State of North Carolina

had a compelling justification in creating Congressional District 1 in order to comply with the

strictures of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1973.

a. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that while the General

Assembly's primary goals in enacting the 1997 Plan were to correct the prior

constitutional violation found by the Supreme Court in Shaw v. Hunt and to

preserve the congressional delegation's partisan balance, the State was also under

an obligation to fulfill these objectives without diluting minority voting strength.

-19-

oh ,

b. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that there is a strong basis

in Sidon for the North Carolina General Assembly to have believed in 1997, that

the three Gingles preconditions and the factors set forth in the Senate Report

accompanying Section 2, S. Rep. No. 97-417, 97th Cong., 2d Sess. (1982), at

28-29, reprinted in 1982 U.S.C.C.A.N 177, 207, required to establish a Voting

Rights Act Section 2 claim exist in North Carolina:

¥ Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend, that the

African-American population in the area encompassed by Congressional

District 1 is sufficiently large and geographically compact to constitute a

majority in a congressional district.

2. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend, and plaintiffs have

stipulated and agreed for purposes of this trial, that the African-American

population is politically cohesive.

3. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend, and plaintiffs have

stipulated and agreed for purposes of this trial, that the white majority

votes sufficiently as a bloc to enable it usually to defeat the minority's

preferred candidate.

C. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend, and plaintiffs have

stipulated and agreed for purposes of this trial, that African-Americans in North

Carolina for many decades were victims of racial discrimination and a substantial

majority of African-American citizens in North Carolina are still at a disadvantage

o® we

in comparison to white citizens with respect to income, housing, education and

health; furthermore, through the 1990 elections, some appeals have been made to

North Carolina voters on the basis of race. .

d. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that there is a strong basis

in evidence for the State Legislature of North Carolina to have determined in 1997

that it had a compelling interest in complying with the Voting Rights Act and in

ensuring that, under the totality of the circumstances, racially polarized voting

patterns and the lingering effects of the State's past discrimination did not exclude

the State's African-American citizens from equal access to the political process.

10. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that Congressional District 1is

narrowly tailored to meet a compelling justification. District 1 is radaily tailored to remedy the

potential Section 2 violation in the eastern portion of the State of North Carolina. The

African-American population in the area encompassed by District 1 is large and secgraphically

compact. District 1 is located in the northern and central Coastal Plain where a high degree of

racially polarized voting persists and the African-American population is politically cohesive.

Moreover, the North Carolina General Assembly did not subordinate traditional redistricting

- criteria in creating District 1. District lis contiguous and geographically compact, encompassing

10 whole counties and whole precincts from portions of 10 other rural and economically

disadvantaged counties with a distinct community of interest. The 1997 Plan substantially

encompasses the configurations of District 1 initially proposed by the State House and State

Senate, and the modifications negotiated between the legislative chambers were not based on

22]

o® + if
racial considerations.

D. Defendant and Defendant-Intervenors Legal Contentions

1. Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that plaintiffs are barred from

litigating the constitutionality of Congressional Districts 1 and 12 in this case. Under the doctrine

of claim preclusion, "a final judgment on the merits of an action precludes the parties or their

privies from relitigating issues that were or could have been raised in that action." Federated

Dep't Stores Inc. v. Moitie, 452 U.S. 394, 398, 101 S. Ct. 2424, 2428, 69 L. Ed. 2d 103. 108

(1981). E.g., Allen v MCurry, 449 U.S. 90, 94, 101 S. Ct. 411, 414, 66 L. Ed. 2d 308. 313

(1980). All Plaintiffs in this case are bound by the decision by the district court in Shaw v. Hunt

holding that the 1997 Plan cured the constitutional defect found by the Supreme Court in District

12 as urged by the Shaw plaintiffs. That decision is binding on plaintiffs Martin Cromartie and

Chandler Muse, because they were plaintiffs in Shaw at the time of that judgment and they had a

full and fair opportunity to litigate their claims concerning District 1 and 12 in Shaw. Because

they chose not to do so, they are barred from their attempt to pursue the claim in this litigation.

The remaining plaintiffs are equally barred from challenging District 1 on the grounds that the

Shaw plaintiffs were their "virtual representatives." See Ahng v. Alisteel, Inc., 96 F.3d 1033,

1037 (7th Cir. 1996); Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. v. Celotex Corp.; 56 F.3d 343 , 345-46 (2d

Cir. 1995); Gonzalez v. Banco Cent. Corp., 27 F.3d 751, 761 (1stCir. 1994); Nordhorn v. Ladish

Co., 9 F3d 1402, 1405 (9th Cir. 1993); Royal Ins. Co. of Am. v. Quinn-L Capitol Corp., 960 F.2d

1286, 1297 (Sth Cir. 1992); Jaffree v. Wallace, 837 F.2d 1461, 1467-68 (11th Cir. 1988).

Similarly, the adverse judgment in Shaw holding District 12 constitutional is attributable to all the

37.

oh wh

plaintiffs in this case and bars them from litigating the constitutionality of District 12.

2 Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that plaintiff James Ronald Linville

does not have standing to challenge the constitutionality of District 12. In this case, plaintiffs only

have standing where he or she can establish that he or she was personally injured as a result of

residing in the district challenged as a racial gerrymander or because he or she was otherwise

personally subjected to a racial classification. See United States v. Hays, 515 U.S. 73 7, 744-745

(1995). Plaintiff James Ronald Linville is registered voter residing in District 5 of the 1997 Plan

and has not alleged that he has been injured as a result of having personally been denied equal

treatment on the grounds of race. He, therefore, has no standing to challenge the constitutionality

of District 12.

3. Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that plaintiffs have the burden of

proving that they have standing to pursue their claim and that race was the predominant factor in

the creation of the 1997 Plan. See Shaw, 517 U.S. at 905 ("The plaintiff bears the burden of

proving the race-based motive. . . .") (citation omitted). See also Miller, 515 U.S. at 916.

4. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that the North Carolina General

Assembly is entitled to a great deal of deference in creating a redistricting plan designed to

remedy the constitutional infirmities found by the Supreme Court and a presumption that it acted

in good faith during the redistricting process. - Indeed, "[s]tates must have discretion to exercise

the political judgment necessary to balance competing interests" and "the good faith of state

legislature must be presumed." Miller v. Johnson, 515 U.S. at 915. See also, e.g., Lawyer v.

Department of Justice, 521 U.S. > 117 8. Ct. at 2192-3 (1997), aff'g Scott v. United States,

920 F. Supp. 1248, 1255 (M.D. Fla. 1996), Shaw v. Hunt, 517 U.S. at 899 n.9; Upham v.

23-

od wh

Seamon, 456 U.S. 37, 42 (1982); White v. Weiser, 412 U.S. at 794-95 (1973).

5 Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that federal law imposed a series of

obligations on the General Assembly in enacting the 1997 congressional redistricting plan. First,

one-person, one vote principles established by the Supreme Court in Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186

(1962) and its progeny required the General Assembly to have a congressional redistricting plan in

which population was distributed equally among the congressional districts in the plan. Second,

the Voting Rights Act required the General Assembly to avoid diluting the voting strength of

minority citizens during the redistricting process. Third, the Supreme Court decision in Shaw v.

Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), and its Foe required that the General Assembly develop a plan in

which race did not predominate and subordinate traditional redistricting criteria.

6. Defendant and defendant-intervenors contend that in order for the Court to apply

strict scrutiny in its evaluation of the 1997 Plan, it must find that "race for its own sake, and not

other districting principles, was the legislature's dominant and controlling rationale in drawing its

district lines," Bush v. Vera, 517 U.S. at 952, quoting Miller v. Johnson, 515 U.S. at 913, and

"that other, legitimate districting principles were subordinated’ to race." Bush, 517 U.S. at 958.

See generally id. at 259-68. The North Carolina General Assembly was permitted to conduct the

1997 redinicins "with consciousness of race." Bush, 517 U.S. at 1051. See also, Bush, 517

U.S. at 993. (O'Connor, J., concurring) (States may intentionally create majority-minority

distin: and may otherwise take race into consideration, without coming under strict scrutiny)

(emphasis in original); United States v. Hays, 515 U.S. 737, 745 (1995) ("We recognized in

Shaw. . .that the legislature always is aware of race when it draws district lines, just as it is aware

of age, economic status, religious and political persuasion, and a variety of other demographic

24.

wh EC

factors. That sort of race consciousness does not lead inevitably to impermissible race

discrimination") (citation omitted) (emphasis in original).

7. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that, while the configuration of

District 12 reflects a strong correlation between the racial composition of the precincts and party

preference and the General Assembly's goal of creating a partisan Democratic District 12, this

~ fact does not make the 1997 constitutionally suspect. The General Assembly may create a

plurality strong partisan Democratic district "even if it so happens that the most loyal Democrats

happen to be black Democrats and even if the State were conscious of that fact." Hunt v.

Cromartie, 119 S. Ct. 1545, 1547, 143 L. Ed. 2d 73 1, 741 (1999) (emphasis in the original)

(citing Bush v. Vera, 517 U.S. 952, 968 (1996); Shaw v. Hunt, 517 U.S. at 905; Miller, 515 U.S.
at 916; Shaw v. Reno, 509 US. at 646). Indeed,

Evidence that blacks constitute even a supermajority in one congressional district while amounting to less than a plurality in a neighboring district will not, by itself, suffice to prove that a jurisdiction was motivated by race in drawing its district lines when the evidence also shows a high correlation between race and party preference.

Hunt at 119 S. Ct. at 1547, 143 L_ Ed. 2d at 741.

9. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that the State of North Carolina

had a compelling justification in creating Congressional District 1 in order to comply with the

strictures of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1973. Compliance with Section 2 of
the Voting Rights Act can be a compelling state interest, King v. State Bd. of Elections, 979 F.

Supp. 619, 621-22 (N.D. III. 1997), summ. aff, U.S. => 1138. Cr 377 (1998) (per curiam),

provided the State has a “strong basis in evidence” for finding that the threshold conditions for

Section 2 liability exist. Bush v. Vera, 517 U.S. at 978. See also Shaw, 517 U.S. at 914 "§2

225.

I "we

could be a compelling interest" justifying even a plan drawn predominantly on a racial basis);

Bush, 517 U.S. at 990 (O'Connor, J, concurring) (nothing in Shaw or its progeny should be

interpreted as calling into question the continued importance of complying with Section 2 of the

Voting Rights Act); id. at 992 (concluding that States have a compelling interest in complying

with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act "as [the Supreme] Court has interpreted it"); King v.

State Board of Elections, Us. 1138. Ct. 877 (1998) (per curiam) (summarily affirming

district court ruling upholding the constitutionality of Illinois’ Fourth Congressional District found

to be narrowly tailored to a compelling justification of complying with Section 2 of the Voting

Rights Act); DeWitt v. Wilson, 856 F. Supp. 1409, 1413-14 (E.D. Cal. 1994) (intentional creation

of majority-minority districts does not violate Constitution when redistricting plan "evidences a

judicious and proper balancing of the many factors appropriate to redistricting, one of which was

the consideration of the application of the Voting Rights Act's objective of assuring that minority

voters are not denied the chance to effectively influence the political process"), aff'd, 515 U.S.

1170 (1995); Clark v. Calhoun County, 88 F.3d 1393, 1405 (5th Cir. 1996) (Higginbotham, J) (a

race-conscious Section 2 remedial plan is acceptable if it is narrowly tailored and it "substantially

addresses" the violation and "does not deviate substantially from a hypothetical court-drawn § 2

district for predominantly racial reasons") (citations omitted).

10. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that there is a strong basis in

evidence for the North Carolina General Assembly to have believed in 1997, that the three

preconditions established by the Supreme Court in Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986) and

the factors set forth in the Senate Report accompanying Section 2, S. Rep. No. 97-417, 97th

Cong, 2d Sess. (1982), at 28-29, reprinted in 1982 U.S.C.C.AN 177, 207, required to establish

“26-

yA we

a Voting Rights Act Section 2 claim in North Carolina.

11. Defendants and defendant-intervenors contend that Congressional District 1 is

narrowly tailored to remedy the potential Section 2 violation in the northeastern and central

Coastal Plain portion of the State of North Carolina. In order to be narrowly tailored to remedy a

potential Section 2 violation, the location of the remedial district must substantially correspond to

_ the location of the potential violation. See Shaw, 517 US. at 915-16 ("[w]here, as here, we |

assume ols of § 2 liability to be a compelling state interest, we think that the racial

classification would have to realize that goal; the legislative action must, at a minimum, remedy

the anticipated violation or achieve compliance to be narrowly tailored") (footnote omitted);

King, 979 F. Supp. at 623-27 (finding Fourth District narrowly tailored because it "remedie[d] the
anticipated violation and achieves Section 2 compliance, and that its consideration of race

(reflected by its noncompactness and irregularity) is no more than reasonably necessary to fulfill

its remedial purpose.").

Proposed Testimony

He is an expert political scientist who has
studied redistricting and consulted or
testified in many redistricting cases. He
believes that race predominated in the
construction of Districts 1 and 12; cities,
counties, and precincts were assigned by
race. He will describe the demographics and
discuss maps and data.

He is lawyer and resident of Charlotte who
served on its city council for several years
and is familiar with the Mecklenburg
precincts; ran for Congress in the 9 District
under the 1992 plan; is convinced that
Mecklenburg County was divided along
racial lines with a predominant racial motive,
and that the 12® District in the 1997 plan
was drawn with a predominantly racial
motive.

He was in the N. C. General Assembly when
the 1997 and 1998 redistricting plans were
being considered, and previously had served
on a commission considering North
Carolina’s legislative process, had introduced
legislation to facilitate the redistricting
process by use of a redistricting commission
and on the basis of his political and
legislative experience believes that Districts
12 and 1 were drawn with a predominantly
racial motive.

He is a High Point resident. Mr. Wood has
served in the General Assembly and was
serving in 1997 in a position of leadership; he
is familiar with the 12" District, and ran for
Congress in the 12™ District under the 1998
plan; he is convinced High Point and
Guilford County were divided on racial lines
for a predominantly racial motive and that

the 12" District was drawn with such a
motive.

Sen. Horton lives in Forsyth County and has
served in the General Assembly for many
years; has introduced legislation in the 1999
legislature which is like that introduced in
earlier sessions by John Weatherly and has
studied and observed as a legislator the
redistricting process; from his examination of
the maps and his knowledge of the precincts,
he is convinced that Forsyth County and
Winston-Salem were split along racial lines
in the 1997 plan and that the 12" District had
a predominantly racial motive.

He has resided in Salisbury about 30 years;
was city executive there for Wachovia Bank,
has been active in politics and has run for the
legislature; is familiar with the congressional
districts in the Salisbury/Rowan County area;
is convinced they were divided on racial
lines, and that the Twelfth District was
drawn with a predominantly racial motive.

He is a lifelong resident of High Point, has
been active in politics on the state and local
level, and because of his experience is
convinced that Guilford County was divided
with a predominantly racial motive in the
1992 and 1997 plans, and that the 12%
District in 1997 was drawn with a
predominantly racial motive.
