Farrakhan, et al. v. Gregoire, et al.
Summary
On January 5, 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in Farrakhan v.

The 老澳门开奖结果 filed an amicus brief in the case, cited by the court in its ruling, arguing that, given this racial bias, the law has a racially discriminatory effect on minorities and results in the denial of their right to vote purely on the basis of their race or color.
