Common Cause v. Lewis
North Carolina
The NRF is supporting a group of individual voters and Common Cause in a partisan gerrymandering lawsuit against the state of North Carolina and other relevant state actors. The North Carolina Democratic Party is also a plaintiff in the suit. The suit alleges that North Carolina’s 2017 redistricting plan for both chambers of the General Assembly are partisan gerrymanders in violation of the North Carolina Constitution. The lawsuit seeks to establish new state House and state Senate maps that do not burden or penalize any party or voter based on their political beliefs.
