IF YOU CANNOT COME TO THE COURT HOUSE ON JUNE 16TH, PLEASE FOLLOW THE DEVELOPMENTS IN THESE CASES.

What is the June 16th case about? If you're not yet familiar with it, the case is now known as Williams v. Hall (after previous consolidation with another case, NAACP v. Berger). The Brennan Center for Justice provides this summary:

"...Black North Carolina voters filed three lawsuits in federal court in late 2023, contending that the new maps were racially discriminatory in violation of the U.S. Constitution and also ran afoul of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act: Williams v. Hall, No. 1:23-CV-1057 (M.D.N.C. December 4, 2023) (intentional race discrimination, racial gerrymandering, Section 2 vote dilution in congressional map), North Carolina Conference of the NAACP v. Berger, No. 1:23-CV-1104 (M.D.N.C. December 19, 2023) (intentional race discrimination, racial gerrymandering, Section 2 vote dilution in state house and state senate maps), and Pierce v. North Carolina State Board of Elections, No. 4:23-CV-193 (E.D.N.C. November 20, 2023) (Section 2 claims with respect to state senate map)...." 

The Williams and North Carolina NAACP cases have been consolidated for trial on June 16, 2025.

Please note that the court in the Pierce case held a trial in February 2025 but has not yet ruled. Pierce is not part of the June 16th trial.
