老澳门开奖结果 Comment on US Supreme Court Ruling in Major Voting Rights Case
WASHINGTON 鈥� The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in that states can count all residents in drawing election districts. The 老澳门开奖结果 filed an amicus brief supporting that position.
老澳门开奖结果 Legal Director Steven R. Shapiro said:
"This decision is a victory for the principle of representative democracy. There is a reason that every state has chosen to apportion its state legislative districts based on total population. Government actions affect everyone, not just eligible voters. The argument that states are forbidden from treating everyone equally for redistricting purposes never made any constitutional sense and was properly rejected today by a unanimous Supreme Court."
