Fair Representation
A group of Black and Latino voters are suing to challenge new congressional district maps. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the voters by voting rights attorney Marc Elias’s firm, alleges that four districts are unconstitutional racial gerrymanders: District 1 in Northeastern NC; District 6, which includes part of Greensboro and extends to suburbs of Charlotte; District 12 in Charlotte; and District 14, which is between Charlotte and Morganton. U.S. Representative Kathy Manning of Greensboro has already announced she won’t seek reelection after her district was redrawn from a safe Democratic seat to a safe Republican seat.
