A long-standing lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of the North Carolina legislature and its decision to include voter ID requirements in the state constitution is set to return to court after being inactive since 2022.
A three-judge panel in Wake County Superior Court will hear the request from Republican leaders, who are named as defendants, to dismiss the case.
The lawsuit, initially filed in 2018 by the North Carolina NAACP, argues that Republican lawmakers lacked the authority to amend the constitution because they were elected from illegally racially gerrymandered districts.
