A brief filed by the Campaign Legal Center, the League of Women Voters of the United States, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, Common Cause, and Democracy 21.

The amicus brief on behalf of former Directors of the U.S. Census Bureau, produced in conjunction with the Campaign Legal Center.
The North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision reflects a fundamental and indefensible misunderstanding of this Court’s precedents on redistricting. If allowed to stand, the decision would encourage states to eliminate coalition districts—districts in which white voters join in sufficient numbers with minority voters to elect the minority’s preferred candidate—and replace them with unjustifiably race-driven districts, all with the purported aim of ensuring compliance with the VRA. This result turns the VRA on its head and runs afoul of the clear dictates of the Equal Protection Clause. It should be reversed.
