WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals erred when it overruled a District Court’s opinion upholding a law reforming North Carolina’s voting process just before the 2014 election, the argues in a brief filed Feb. 4 urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the state’s appeal.
In State of North Carolina, et al. v. League of Women Voters of North Carolina, et al., the ACRU’s brief, written by General Counsel Peter Ferrara, notes that minority voting percentages in 2014 rose under the law instead of declining as the plaintiffs had projected.
