    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA NO. 1:15-cv-00399 SANDRA LITTLE COVINGTON, et al., PLAINTIFFS, PLAINTIFFS’ POST-TRIAL V. BRIEFING ON REMEDY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, et al, DEFENDANTS. NOW COME Plaintiffs, by and through their undersigned counsel, and pursuant to the Court’s request of the parties and minute entry dated April 15, 2016, submit the following post-trial briefing on remedy and a potential remedial schedule. I. Should this Court Strike Down Any of the Challenged Districts, Plaintiffs Are Entitled to Relief Before the 2016 Election Should this Court rule in Plaintiffs’ favor, Plaintiffs and millions of North Carolina voters will have already been subjected to two election cycles under the unconstitutional enacted state legislative redistricting plans. Based on their pre-trial brief, ECF No. 81, and briefing in which the same Defendants unsuccessfully sought a stay in remedy in Harris v. McCrory, No. 1:13-cv-949, Defendants will certainly seek to delay implementation of remedy until after the 2016 elections. This Court should not allow any delay, and should act quickly to protect the right to vote of people in this state.

    115th Congressional Directory Members of Congress Representing Publicly-Supported HBCUs Thurgood Marshall College Fund Alabama SENATOR RICHARD SHELBY Sen. Richard Shelby Biography Alabama senior Sen. Richard Shelby has held the top Republican slot on committees dealing with banking and spying, and in 2015 returned as chairman of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. But the issue for which he remains best known at home is spending. Adept at securing federal money for his state, he has five buildings at Alabama’s public universities named for him. Shelby grew up in Birmingham, the son of a steelworker. After earning two degrees from the University of Alabama, he stayed in Tuscaloosa and practiced law with Walter Flowers, who was later a conservative Democratic congressman. Shelby, a Democrat at that time, was elected to the state Senate in 1970 at age 36. When Flowers ran, unsuccessfully, for the U.S. Senate in 1978, Shelby ran for his House seat. In the House, Shelby had a conservative voting record, opposing the Voting Rights Act extension and the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. He ran for the Senate in 1986 and won the Democratic primary with 51% of the vote after then-Secretary of State (and later governor) Don Siegelman withdrew. On domestic issues, Shelby has compiled a conservative record. But he is not a free market purist. Despite his party switch, he has remained friendly with trial lawyers, who usually support Democrats in Alabama. He easily won reelection in 2010 against Democrat William Barnes, a Birmingham lawyer. Shelby easily won his primary in 2016 against his main opponent, Jonathan McConnell.
