Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a historical and contemporary overview of the redistricting process, using North Carolina for the different political, electoral, and legal issues and debates over the practice of drawing legislative district boundaries. Redistricting has been characterized as “the most political activity in America,” and North Carolina has often been at the heart of recent controversies over this particular activity. In fact, the Tar Heel state was once described as “long notorious for (its) outrageous reapportionment.” Through legislative construction to significant legal challenges, the Tar Heel state has been a noted case study for the past thirty years. From the contentious issues of redistricting principles to the matters of gerrymandering, based on race and politics, North Carolina’s past three decades have seen major U.S. Supreme Court cases deal with redistricting controversies. By exploring this state’s dealings with gerrymandering and redistricting, readers will have a better sense of the dynamics facing the nation as it confronts the 2020 Census and the subsequent redistricting efforts in 2021.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine the complex process of congressional redistricting and the political and legal issues that have engulfed this process. This study will generally review the dynamics of the North Carolina state legislature in its efforts to create a redistricting plan after the 1990 census that created two majority black districts. A case study was conducted of the congressional election of Eva Clayton in 1992. Moreover interviews were conducted of members of the North Carolina state legislature, staff support to the legislature, and interest groups regarding North Carolina's redistricting process. This study examines whether democracy works at the end of the twentieth century for a segment of society (black Americans) that has been locked out of the political process for most of this century. It focuses on the creation of the two majority black districts in North Carolina prior to the 1992 congressional elections. The study reveals several factors regarding politics in North Carolina: black candidates can win national office against white candidates now that structural impediments have been removed. Moreover, the task of redistricting, which has traditionally centered on partisan gerrymandering, now contains the additional element of race, but remains a highly political struggle in state legislatures.

This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed analysis of the politics of racial redistricting, a topic of particular concern in light of recent federal court cases. The book is divided into two parts. Part one examines the historical exclusion of blacks from the American political process and the politics behind congressional redistricting. The text focuses on partisan manoeuvering and assesses whose interests were being served. In particular, the book chronicles the legislative action (creation of majority black districts) in North Carolina and around the South. Part two shifts the focus to the myriad of legal battles that ensued as a result of the newly-created districts in North Carolina and around the South. Majority black districts have been dismantled in the Supreme Court. This has been due to the criticism of their "arbitrary" shape, and the notion that race was considered a predominant fact or in their design. Yet, irregularly-shaped majority white districts have not been accused of violating districting principles. This book purports that blacks were not elected to national office in large numbers prior to the creation of majority black districts, indicating the continuing need for race-conscious districting as a temporary solution to a complex problem.
