Home > Easley v. Cromartie


Easley v. Cromartie (532 US 234 2001) was a U.S. Supreme Court case. The court's ruling on April 18, 2001 stated that redistricting for political reasons did not violate Federal Civil Rights Law banning race-based gerrymandering. (Case No. 99-1864).

The High Court decided: Being that Southern blacks tend to vote for the Democratic Party, North Carolina's 12th Congressional District was drawn based upon voting behavior, instead of upon racial characteristics. The odd-shaped district was allowed, the Court ruled, to stand.
