The third day of the trial over North Carolina's local and congressional district maps has concluded. The trial is happening inside the federal courthouse in Winston-Salem. Seven witnesses took the stand on Wednesday.

In one lawsuit, the North Carolina NAACP, Common Cause and several Black residents originally sued over redrawn state House and Senate maps and U.S. House districts. The other lawsuit filed by nearly 20 Black and Latino voters focused on the new congressional districts, four of which they argue are illegal racial gerrymanders.

North Carolina congressional and legislative districts drawn by Republicans in 2023 that helped them retain majorities in Raleigh and Washington are in court.
