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 
to District 12 in the 1997 Plan. Akg : A : 

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. 

Approximately 31.5% of the African-Americans who were in District 1 in the 1992 plan 
were moved out of District 1 in the 1997 plan. Approximately 68.5% of the African- 
Americans who were in District 1 in the 1992 plan continue to be in District 1 in the 1997

District 1 in the 1992 plan continue to be in District 1 in the 1997 plan. 

65.3% of the geographic area assigned to District 1 in the 1992 Plan remained assigned to 
District 1 in the 1997 Plan. 

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. 

Registered Democrats are prohibited from voting in Republican primaries and registered 
Republicans are prohibited from voting in Democratic primaries at the present time, and 
during all times relevant to this case.

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

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.

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- 

 



wh 

  

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.

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]

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.

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

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

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

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

anticipated violation and achieves Section 2 compliance, and that its consideration of race

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.

»e 

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.
