Rucho today concluding that a new congressional map in North Carolina should be implemented after the 2018 elections. With 67 days to go before the 2018 general election and a primary already conducted, Common Cause argued that new districts would generate election administration challenges that would cause confusion and lower voter turnout. The trial court ruled on Monday that North Carolina\u2019s congressional map is an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander and is determining the appropriate remedy. The North Carolina General Assembly is likely to appeal the court\u2019s ruling striking down the map directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could hear the case in the next term.","featured_image":"","press_type":236,"authors":["{\"site_id\":\"1\",\"post_type\":\"person\",\"post_id\":7855}","{\"site_id\":\"1\",\"post_type\":\"person\",\"post_id\":7872}"],"related_issues":[103,2066],"related_work":false,"location":46},"sidebar":{"helper_enable_sidebar":false,"helper_media_contact":{"heading":"Media Contact","manually_enter_person":false,"person":null,"name":"","role":"","phone":"","email":""},"helper_links_downloads":{"heading":"Links & Downloads","links":null}},"page_layout":[{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"Causa com\u00fan, junto con la Liga de Mujeres Votantes de Carolina del Norte, present\u00f3 una <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/PLDG-Common-Cause-v.-Rucho-August-31-2018-Brief-re-Remedies.pdf\">breve<\/a> en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/es\/redistricting-litigation\/causa-comun-vs-rucho\/\"><em>Causa com\u00fan contra Rucho<\/em><\/a> Hoy se concluy\u00f3 que se deber\u00eda implementar un nuevo mapa del Congreso en Carolina del Norte despu\u00e9s de las elecciones de 2018.

El tribunal de primera instancia... <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/es\/press-release\/la-causa-comun-prevalece-en-la-demanda-por-manipulacion-partidista-de-los-distritos-electorales\/\">dictamin\u00f3 el lunes<\/a> that North Carolina\u2019s congressional map is an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander and is determining the appropriate remedy. The North Carolina General Assembly is likely to appeal the court\u2019s ruling striking down the map directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could hear the case in the next term.\r\n\r\nIn its brief Friday, Common Cause asked the court to assign a special master to create a new congressional map after the 2018 election.\r\n\r\n\u201cUnfortunately, the General Assembly\u2019s decision to draw a biased and gerrymandered map in 2016 allowed them to run out the clock and force North Carolinians to vote in unconstitutional districts one more time,\u201d said Bob Phillips, Common Cause North Carolina executive director. \u201cAlthough justice will be delayed one more election cycle, we will keep up the fight for fair representation here in North Carolina and across the country when this case heads to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u201d\r\n\r\nOn August 27, the three-judge federal district court panel again struck down North Carolina\u2019s U.S. House map as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander in the consolidated case of <em>Causa com\u00fan contra Rucho<\/em> y <em>Liga de Mujeres Votantes de Carolina del Norte contra Rucho<\/em>El tribunal determin\u00f3 violaciones de las Enmiendas Primera y Decimocuarta, as\u00ed como del Art\u00edculo I, secciones 2 y 4 de la Constituci\u00f3n.

Plaintiffs are represented by Emmet J. Bondurant, Jason J. Carter, and Benjamin W. Thorpe of Bondurant, Mixson &amp; Elmore, LLP, Gregory L. Diskant, Jonah M. Knobler, Peter A.
