North Carolina voting-rights advocates, including the NAACP and individual Black voters, have filed a lawsuit to challenge the redistricting plans drawn by Republicans for the 2024 elections. They allege that the plans unlawfully weakened the electoral influence of Black voters. The lawsuit targets both state and congressional maps, with specific legislators from Western North Carolina named in the lawsuit. The aim is to take back control from Republican influence in the state's judicial races.
