The message that such districting sends to elected representatives is equally pernicious. Our focus is on appellants' claim that the State engaged in unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.

Ibid. 16-19. The voting age population of North Carolina is approximately 78% white, 20% black, and 1% Native American; the remaining 1% is predominantly Asian. Appellants point out that blacks currently hold the positions of State Auditor, Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, and chair of the North Carolina State Board of Elections. See ante, at 647. 1. Rather than challenge this conclusion, North Carolina chose to draw the second district. -the shape of the district was not compact or contiguous. This new plant is expected to generate aftertax cash flows of$9.4 million in perpetuity. The other part of the majority's explanation of its holding is related to its simultaneous discomfort and fascination with irregularly shaped districts. See Powers v. Ohio, 499 U.

Seeing no good reason to engage in either, I dissent. 430 U. S., at 155 (plurality opinion) (emphasis added). For much of our Nation's history, that right sadly has been denied to many because of race. . Pp. Redistricting legislation that is alleged to be so bizarre on its face that it is unexplainable on grounds other than race demands the same close scrutiny, regardless of the motivations underlying its adoption. Id., at 165-166. tion. Id., at 154-155. claim in UJO was that the State had "violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments by deliberately revising its reapportionment plan along racial lines." Despite their invocation of the ideal of a "color-blind" Constitution, see Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537, 559 (1896) (Harlan, J., dissenting), appellants appear to concede that race-conscious redistricting is not always unconstitutional. The Twelfth District received even harsher criticism. Proc. More generally, we remarked: "The mere fact that one interest group or another concerned with the outcome of [the district's] elections has found itself outvoted and without legislative seats of its. of Ed., 476 U.

Writing for three Members of the Court, I justified this conclusion as follows: "It is true that New York deliberately increased the nonwhite majorities in certain districts in order to enhance the opportunity for election of nonwhite representatives from those districts. Shaw v. Reno is an important decision because it represents a conservative shift on the Court.

JUSTICE WHITE WITH WHOM JUSTICE BLACKMUN AND JUSTICE STEVENS JOIN, DISSENTING. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the District Court and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Washington v. Davis(1976). "Dilution" thus refers to the effects of districting decisions not on an individual's political power viewed in isolation, but on the political power of a group. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. the Attorney General's satisfaction that its proposed redistricting had neither the purpose nor the effect of abridging the right to vote on account of race or color. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the District Court and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. 1 "Bloc racial voting is an unfortunate phenomenon, but we are repeatedly faced with the findings of knowledgeable district courts that it is a fact of life.

Lightfoot, 364 U. S. See Garza v. County of Los Angeles, 918 F.2d 763, 771 (CA9 1990). Because the General Assembly's reapportionment plan affected the covered counties, the parties agree that 5 applied. H. Lefler & A.

To comply with 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965-which prohibits a covered jurisdiction from implementing changes in a "standard, practice, or procedure with respect to voting" without federal authorizationNorth Carolina submitted to the Attorney General a congressional reapportionment plan with one majority-black district. The fact that it now chooses to apply strict scrutiny when a law is meant to benefit a race that has been the subject of historical discrimination makes no sense. It is against this background that we confront the questions presented here. 1 See Cousins v. City Council of Chicago, 466 F.2d 830, 848-852 (CA7) (Stevens, J., dissenting), cert. Its decision not to create the more compact southern majority-minority district that was suggested, on the other hand, was more likely a result of partisan considerations. Gomillion v. Lightfoot, 364 U. S. 339, 340 (1960). Court's determination to depart from our prior decisions by carving out this narrow group of cases for strict scrutiny in place of the review customarily applied in cases dealing with discrimination in electoral districting on the basis of race. I did not join Part IV of his opinion in United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburgh, Inc. v. Carey, 430 U.

It deemed appellants' claim under the Fifteenth Amendment essentially subsumed within their related claim under the Equal Protection Clause. At what time (or times) during the 24-hour period does the maximum body temperature occur? Pleading such an element, the Court holds, suffices without a further allegation of harm, to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Justice Department under the George H.W. Since I do not agree that appellants alleged an equal protection violation and because the Court of Appeals faithfully followed the Court's prior cases, I dissent and would affirm the judgment below. In some States, registration of eligible black voters ran 50% behind that of whites. Cf. 430 U. S., at 167-168 (opinion of WHITE, J., joined by STEVENS and REHNQUIST, JJ.). The State has made no mystery of its intent, which was to respond to the Attorney General's objections, see Brief for State Appellees 13-14, by improving the minority group's prospects of electing a candidate of its choice. Justice Whittaker, however, concluded that the "unlawful segregation of races of citizens" into different voting districts was cognizable under the Equal Protection Clause. The shape of the district at issue in this case is indeed so bizarre that few other examples are ever likely to carry the unequivocal implication of impermissible use of race that the Court finds here. The Attorney General specifically objected to the configuration of boundary lines drawn in the south-central to southeastern region of the State. 3. To be sure, as the Court says, it would be logically possible to apply strict scrutiny to these cases (and to uphold those uses of race that are permissible), see ante, at 653-657. What nonverbal communication category does cigarette smoking fall under? For the reasons stated by JUSTICE WHITE, the decision of the District Court should be affirmed. Statement 67a-lOOa (Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction and For Temporary Restraining Order). understood as anything other than an effort to "segregat[e] voters" on the basis of race. The Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution, surely, does not stand in the way. 115 S. Ct. 2475 (1995). of Gal. 1 It has been argued that the required showing of discriminatory effect should be lessened once a plaintiff successfully demonstrates intentional discrimination. Put differently, we believe that reapportionment is one area in which appearances do matter. See UJO, 430 U. S., at 165-166 (plurality opinion of WHITE, J., joined by STEVENS and REHNQUIST, JJ. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act forbids districting plans that will have a discriminatory effect on minority groups. The district even has inspired poetry: "Ask not for whom the line is drawn; it is drawn to avoid thee." I The voting age population of North Carolina is approxi-mately 78% white, 20% black, and 1% Native American; the remaining 1% is predominantly Asian. Journalize the entry to record the identification of the customers bad debt. The Court has abandoned settled law to decide this case. The difference between constitutional and unconstitutional gerrymanders has nothing to do with whether they are based on assumptions about the groups they affect, but whether their purpose is to enhance the power of the group in control of the districting process at the expense of any minority group, and thereby to strengthen the unequal distribution of electoral power. Although the boundary lines were somewhat irregular, the majority reasoned, they were not so bizarre as to permit of no other conclusion. See Gomillion v. Lightfoot, 364 U. S. 339. Consider that PC has a 35% tax rate. Contacting Justia or any attorney through this site, via web form, email, or otherwise, does not create an attorney-client relationship. A reapportionment plan that includes in one district individuals who belong to the same race, but who are otherwise widely separated by geographical and political boundaries, and who may have little in common with one another but the color of their skin, bears an uncomfortable resemblance to political apartheid. Section 2 also provides that a violation of that prohibition "is established if, based on the totality of circumstances, it is shown that the political processes leading to nomination or election are not equally open to participation by members of a [protected] class in that its members have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice." It reinforces racial stereotypes and threatens to undermine our system of representative democracy by signaling to elected officials that they represent a particular racial group rather than their constituency as a whole. I respectfully dissent. v. EVAN MILLIGAN, ET AL. Congress enacted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as a dramatic and severe response to the situation. Once the Attorney General has found that a proposed redistricting change violates 5's nonretrogression principle in that it will abridge a racial minority's right to vote, does "narrow tailoring" mean that the most the State can do is preserve the status quo? O. Gade & H. Stillwell, North Carolina: People and Environments 65-68 (1986). Appellants sought declaratory and injunctive relief against the state appellees. The General Assembly located the second district not in the south-central to southeastern part of the State, but in the north-central region along Interstate 85. White v. Regester, supra, at 766. A.

In an opinion which explored the nature of "political questions" and the appropriateness of Court action in them, the Court held that there were no such questions to be answered in this case and that legislative apportionment was a justiciable issue. Not so, apparently, when the districting "segregates" by drawing odd-shaped lines.7 In that case, we are told, such proof no longer is needed. See UJO, supra, at 165 (plurality opinion). Earlier this Term, we unanimously reaffirmed that racial bloc voting and minority-group political cohesion never can be assumed, but specifically must be proved in each case in order to establish that a redistricting plan dilutes minority voting strength in violation of 2. can imagine would be the preservation of "sound districting principles," UJO, 430 U. S., at 168, such as compactness and contiguity. When a district obviously is created solely to effectuate the perceived common interests of one racial group, elected officials are more likely to believe that their primary obligation is to represent only the members of that group, rather than their constituency as a whole. JUSTICE WHITE, with whom JUSTICE BLACKMUN and JUSTICE STEVENS join, dissenting. 14, 1. The message that such districting sends to elected representatives is equally pernicious. SHAW ET AL. There is thus no theoretical inconsistency in having two distinct approaches to equal protection analysis, one for. But while district irregularities may provide strong indicia of a potential gerrymander, they do no more than that. It involves, instead, an attempt to equalize treatment, and to provide minority voters with an effective voice in the political process. The most compelling evidence of the Court's position prior to this day, for it is most directly on point, is UJO, 430 U. S. 144 (1977). Give examples of input devices for computer systems. Pope v. Blue, 809 F. Supp. Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U. S. 483; McLaughlin v. Florida, 379 U. S. 184. The grounds for my disagreement with the majority are simply stated: Appellants have not presented a cognizable claim, because they have not alleged a cognizable injury. Grofman, Would Vince Lombardi Have Been Right If He Had Said: "When It Comes to Redistricting, Race Isn't Everything, It's the Only Thing"?, 14 Cardozo L. Rev. Richmond v. J. Because the holding is limited to such anomalous circumstances, ante, at 649, it perhaps will not substantially hamper a State's legitimate efforts to redistrict in favor of racial minorities. The Attorney General did not object to the General Assembly's revised plan. Thus, "an equal protection violation may be found only where the electoral system substantially disadvantages certain voters in their opportunity to influence the political process effectively." Moreover, redistricting differs from other kinds of state decisionmaking in that the legislature always is aware of race when it draws district lines, just as it is aware of age, economic status, religious and political persuasion, and a variety of other demographic factors. Accordingly, they held that plaintiffs were not entitled to relief under the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. Constitutional Issue/Question (Shaw v. Reno). Our conclusion is supported by the plurality opinion in UJO, in which four Justices determined that New York's creation of additional majority-minority districts was constitutional because the plaintiffs had failed to demonstrate that the State "did more than the Attorney General was authorized to require it to do under the nonretrogression principle of Beer." Indicate whether each account would flow into the income statement, retained earnings statement, or balance sheet. Accordingly, we have held that the Fourteenth Amendment requires state legislation that expressly distinguishes among citizens because of their race to be narrowly tailored to further a compelling governmental interest. To locate the subject, use the verb preceded by Who? The United States Supreme Court ruled that federal courts could hear and rule on cases in which plaintiffs allege that re-apportionment plans violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment . The State chose to submit its plan to the Attorney General for preclearance. We previously have recognized a significant state interest in eradicating the effects of past racial discrimination. In the absence of an allegation of such harm, I would affirm the judgment of the District Court. One state legislator has remarked that" '[i]f you drove down the interstate with both car doors open, you'd kill most of the people in the district.'" As we have held, one's constitutional rights are not violated merely because the candidate one supports loses the election or because a group (including a racial group) to which one belongs winds up with a representative from outside that group. We express no view as to whether appellants successfully could have challenged such a district under the Fourteenth Amendment. Karcher v. Daggett, 462 U. S. 725, 758 (1983) (STEVENS, J., concurring). taker's concurrence appears to be premised on the notion that black citizens were being "fenc[ed] out" of municipal benefits. In other words, the purposeful creation of a majority-minority district could have discriminatory effect if it is achieved by means of "packing"-i. e., overconcentration of minority voters. But their loose and imprecise use by today's majority has, I fear, led it astray. to Brief for Federal Appellees lOa-lla. This Court's subsequent reliance on Gomillion in other Fourteenth Amendment cases suggests the correctness of Justice Whittaker's view. The District Court below relied on these portions of UJO to reject appellants' claim. In Gomillion, in short, the group that formed the majority at the state level purportedly set out to manipulate city boundaries in order to remove members of the minority, thereby denying them valuable municipal services. Every Member of the Court assumed that the plaintiffs' allegation that the statute "segregate[d] eligible voters by race and place of origin" stated a constitutional claim. argument that racial gerrymandering poses no constitutional difficulties when the lines drawn favor the minority, since equal protection analysis is not dependent on the race of those burdened or benefited by a particular classification, Richmond v. J. ); see also post, at 662-663 (opinion of WHITE, J.). 461 (EDNC 1992). In other words, the statute was invalid because, on its face, it could not be explained on grounds other than race. Sign up for our free summaries and get the latest delivered directly to you. In that, state efforts to remedy minority vote dilution are wholly unlike what typically has been labeled "affirmative action." JUSTICE SOUTER apparently views racial gerrymandering of the type presented here as a special category of "benign" racial discrimination that should be subject to relaxed judicial review. Even so, the individual's right is infringed only if the racial minority can prove that it has 'essentially been shut out of the political process.''' This small sample only begins to scratch the surface of the problems raised by the majority's test. The logic of its theory appears to be that race-conscious redistricting that "segregates" by drawing odd-shaped lines is qualitatively different from race-conscious redistricting that affects groups in some other way. Ibid. Did North Carolina residents claim that the 1990 redistricting plan discriminated on the basis of race raise a valid constitutional issue under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause? 1300 (1966). As a result of the 1990 census, North Carolina gained one congressional seat, increasing its House membership to twelve and requiring the state legislature to redraw the state's congressional districts. shape of the district lines could "be explained only in racial terms." It is against this background that we confront the questions presented here. T(t)=37.29+0.46cos[12(t16.37)]. In whatever district, the individual voter has a right to vote in each election, and the election will result in the voter's representation. These principles apply not only to legislation that contains explicit racial distinctions, but also to those "rare" statutes that, although race-neutral, are, on their face, "unexplainable on grounds other than race." 92-357 Argued: April 20, 1993 Decided: June 28, 1993. -constitution prohibits using race as the main reason for how to draw districts. By a 2-to-1 vote, the District Court also dismissed the complaint against the state appellees. It spite of such criticisms, the redistricting accomplished its goal. See, e. g., Wygant v. Jackson Ed. Unlike other contexts in which we have addressed the State's conscious use of race, see, e. g., Richmond v. J. It is approximately 160 miles long and, for much of its length, no wider than the 1-85 corridor. They threaten to stigmatize individuals by reason of their membership in a racial group and to incite racial hostility. a majority-minority district does not unfairly minimize the voting power of any other group, the Constitution does not justify, much less mandate, such obstruction. Bandemer, 478 U. S., at 164 (Powell, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part) (internal quotation marks omitted). We note, however, that only three Justices in UJO were prepared to say that States have a significant interest in minimizing the consequences of racial bloc voting apart from the requirements of the Voting Rights Act. It is particularly ironic that the case in which today's majority chooses to abandon settled law and to recognize for the first time this "analytically distinct" constitutional claim, ante, at 652, is a challenge by white voters to the plan under which North Carolina has sent black representatives to Congress for the first time since Reconstruction. 8While the Court "express[es] no view as to whether 'the intentional creation of majority-minority districts, without more,' always gives rise to an equal protection claim," ante, at 649 (quoting ante, at 668 (WHITE, J., dissenting)), it repeatedly emphasizes that there is some reason to believe that a configuration devised with reference to traditional districting principles would present a case falling outside the cause of action recognized today. 642-649. This is altogether antithetical to our system of representative democracy. The shapes of the two districts in question were quite controversial. Redistricting advantage for blacks faces more scrutiny than an advantage for a non-minority. 86.3% of the population in the 18th District was classified as nonwhite or Puerto Rican. SHAW v. RENO (1993) AP U.S. Government and Politics Study Guide IMPACT The decision in Shaw v. Reno led to nationwide changes after the 2000 Census. Ruth Shaw and four other white North Carolina voters filed suit against the U.S. attorney general and various North Carolina officials, claiming that race-based redistricting violated, among other provisions, the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

See supra, at 680-681. gered at least heightened scrutiny (which every Member of the Court to address the issue has agreed must be applied even to race-based classifications designed to serve some permissible state interest).5 Presumably because the legitimate consideration of race in a districting decision is usually inevitable under the Voting Rights Act when communities are racially mixed, however, and because, without more, it does not result in diminished political effectiveness for anyone, we have not taken the approach of applying the usual standard of such heightened "scrutiny" to race-based districting decisions.
