Cooper v. Harris, 581 U.S. ___ (2017), is a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court ruled 5–3 that the North Carolina General Assembly used race too heavily in re-drawing two Congressional districts following the 2010 Census.

Nonetheless, the Republican-controlled legislature designed a new map after the 2010 census that again redrew districts 1 and 12 as majority black, thus prompting the present lawsuit.

[11] Neil Gorsuch did not take part in the case, which was argued before he was confirmed to the Supreme Court.

[11] When the state redrew the maps from the District Order, they did not use any racial profiling data, but did rely heavily on partisan distributions.

The subsequent map has been challenged again, and the case was heard by the Supreme Court as Rucho v. Common Cause in March 2019.
