El panel lleg\u00f3 a la misma conclusi\u00f3n en enero, pero la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos anul\u00f3 y remiti\u00f3 la decisi\u00f3n en junio despu\u00e9s de su decisi\u00f3n en <em>Gill contra Whitford<\/em>. The Justices asked the trial court panel to reexamine whether plaintiffs had standing to sue. The panel confirmed standing and the original finding of constitutional violations in today\u2019s decision. The North Carolina General Assembly is likely to appeal the decision. Appeals of three-judge panel redistricting decisions go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, so the case could be heard there in the next year.\r\n\r\nAccording to the court\u2019s decision, \u201cwe further conclude that Gill did not call into question -- and, if anything, supported -- this Court\u2019s previous determination that Plaintiffs have standing to assert partisan gerrymandering claims.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cCommon Cause and our partners in this lawsuit took the fight to politicians who manipulate our democracy and we won,\u201d said Karen Hobert Flynn, Common Cause president. \u201cWe anticipate an appeal and are ready to turn legislators\u2019 brazen partisan gerrymander into a historic ruling in the Supreme Court to end the practice nationwide.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cAlthough North Carolina\u2019s loud and proud admission that legislators drew districts for partisan advantage is unusual, the practice is universal when politicians are in charge,\u201d said Kathay Feng, Common Cause national redistricting director. \u201cUntil we prohibit partisan gerrymandering, a true representative democracy will remain out of reach and the voices of all Americans will continue to be silent.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cWhile we look forward to having our landmark case now go before the highest court in the land, it\u2019s regrettable that North Carolina voters this November will be voting in congressional districts that have been found unconstitutional,\u201d said Bob Phillips, Common Cause North Carolina executive director. \u201cWe the people deserve better. It\u2019s time for state lawmakers to do their part and pass redistricting reform.\u201d\r\n\r\n<em>Causa com\u00fan contra Rucho<\/em> se consolid\u00f3 originalmente con <em>Liga de Mujeres Votantes de Carolina del Norte contra Rucho<\/em>En 2016, un tribunal federal orden\u00f3 a la Asamblea General de Carolina del Norte que redise\u00f1ara el mapa del Congreso del estado porque dos distritos eran gerrymanders raciales ilegales. El representante estatal David Lewis anunci\u00f3 p\u00fablicamente y los legisladores incluyeron en los criterios oficiales de redistribuci\u00f3n de distritos que mantener una ventaja republicana de 10-3 ser\u00eda un objetivo principal del nuevo mapa. Como hab\u00eda decidido en enero, el panel del tribunal de primera instancia determin\u00f3 nuevamente que los distritos violan las Enmiendas Primera y Decimocuarta junto con el Art\u00edculo I, Secci\u00f3n 2 y exceden la autoridad otorgada a los estados en el Art\u00edculo I, Secci\u00f3n 4 de la Constituci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\">Para leer la decisi\u00f3n, <a href=\"https:\/\/na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommoncause.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F08%2FMDNC-Opinion.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cdvance%40commoncause.org%7Cfe4b7520120b425eaa4408d60c6918f5%7Cdb39e4b4de324cf9b66e9d02d8172178%7C0%7C0%7C636710042861084906&amp;sdata=ZfM2KX%2BKGESqtSLbumfzRE67Va%2FBlRKf6gornrz%2BIVQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/span>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
