A former North Carolina Supreme Court Justice who previously consulted on election maps in the state is now leading a group of voters suing the state elections board and two lawmakers over recently redrawn voting districts, arguing that certain districts do not offer any meaningful choices in the upcoming election.

Robert Orr, who served on the North Carolina Supreme Court from 1995 to 2004, is representing nearly a dozen voters in a lawsuit against the Tar Heel State’s board of elections and leading members of the General Assembly. According to the complaint, filed Wednesday, recent actions in the state have led to the creation of noncompetitive voting districts, which Orr argues violates North Carolina’s constitution.

“By intentionally manipulating the electoral odds and stacking the electorate to give an unfair electoral advantage to a particular political party and its candidates in selected districts, the General Assembly has attempted to preordain the outcome of elections in certain districts,” the complaint says.
