U.S. Supreme Court Accepts Another Racial Gerrymandering Case

On June 27, the U.S. Supreme Court said it will hear McCrory v Harris, 15-1262. This is a North Carolina lawsuit over U.S. House district boundaries. The lower 3-judge U.S. District Court had invalidated the state’s districts, forcing North Carolina to hold a late primary this month just for U.S. House, because the districts had not been in place at the March 2016 primary.

In February 2016 the U.S. Supreme Court had declined to block the new districts, which suggests that when the U.S. Supreme Court hears the case, it is likely to uphold the decision of the 3-judge U.S. District Court.

  1. 1. The perversion of the 15th Amdt goes on and on.
    Such Amdt is ONLY about the definition of Elector-Voter — NOT anything else.

    2. ALL gerrymanders — 1/2 or less votes x 1/2 gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL = nonstop EVIL and VICIOUS OLIGARCHY.


    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

  2. Demo Rep

    Apparently someone added some text to your copy of the 15th Amendment. Here is the original text, and after reading it twice I can’t find any reference to “Elector-Voters”.

    Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

    Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[2]
