Roy Cooper v. David Harris — Thomas, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Thomas concurred, arguing that North Carolina's concession regarding District 1 is sufficient to trigger strict scrutiny and that VRA Section 2 does not justify racial gerrymandering. Justice Alito dissented regarding District 12, contending that plaintiffs failed to meet the evidentiary burden established in Easley v. Cromartie II because they did not submit an alternative redistricting map.
