Harper v. Hall
North Carolina Supreme Court
380 N.C. 317 (2022)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
The North Carolina General Assembly redrew the legislative districts in North Carolina for elections for the U.S. Congress and for the North Carolina General Assembly. Rebecca Harper and others (collectively, Harper) (plaintiffs) brought suit, alleging that the way the maps were redrawn violated the provisions in the North Carolina Constitution that guaranteed the right to vote on equal terms and the right to substantially equal voting power. The trial court upheld the new maps, and the court of appeals affirmed, finding that the court did not have the power to usurp the General Assembly’s authority to draw the maps. Harper appealed.
