XIV Hunt v. Cromartie , 526 U.S. 541 ( 1999 ) , was a United States Supreme Court case regarding North Carolina 's 12th congressional district . In an earlier case , Shaw v. Reno , 517 U.S. 899 ( 1995 ) , the Supreme Court ruled that the 12th district of North Carolina as drawn was unconstitutional because it was created for the purpose of placing African Americans in one district , thereby constituting illegal racial gerrymandering . The Court ordered the state of North Carolina to redraw the boundaries of the district . In this follow - up case , the Supreme Court ruled that the state was able to justify the new boundaries of the 12th district by showing that it was intended to create a safe seat for Democrats , and therefore the redrawn district was a constitutional example of political gerrymandering . Justice O'Connor acted as the swing vote , satisfied with the change in reasoning since Shaw v. Reno . See also ( edit ) Easley v. Cromartie , 532 U.S. 234 ( 2001 ) Shaw v.
