Not very long ago, of course, it was argued that minority groups defined by race were the only groups the Equal Protection Clause protected in this context. See Whitcomb v. Chavis, 403 U. S. 124, 153-155 (1971). See 808 F. 2. In the example the verb is answered. See Tr. Even Members of the Court least inclined to approve of race-based remedial measures have acknowledged the significance of this factor. Constitution prohibits using race as the basis for how to draw districts, 1. See, e.g.,Rogers v. Lodge(1982);White v. Regester(1973). I fail to see how a decision based on a failure to establish discriminatory intent can support the inference that it is unnecessary to prove discriminatory effect. ); id., at 175-179 (Brennan, J., concurring in part); id., at 180 (Stewart, J., concurring in judgment). Gomillion v. Lightfoot, 364 U. S. 339, 340 (1960). of Ed., 476 U. S. 267 (1986) (teacher layoffs), electoral districting calls for decisions that nearly always require some consideration of race for legitimate reasons where there is a racially mixed population. The consideration of race in "segregation" cases is no different than in other race-conscious districting; from the standpoint of the affected groups, moreover, the line-drawings all act in similar fashion.8 A plan that "segregates" being functionally indistinguishable from any of the other varieties of gerrymandering, we should be consistent in what we require from a claimant: proof of discriminatory purpose and effect. Id., at 139. The facts of this case mirror those presented inUnited Jewish Organizations of Williamsburgh, Inc. v. Carey(1977) (UJO), where the Court rejected a claim that creation of a majority-minority district violated the Constitution, either as aper sematter or in light of the circumstances leading to the creation of such a district. The essence of the majority's argument is that UJO dealt with a claim of vote dilution-which required a specific showing of harm-and that cases such as Gomillion v. Lightfoot, 364 U. S. 339 (1960), and Wright v. Rockefeller, 376 U. S. 52 (1964), dealt with claims of racial segregation-which did not. See, e. g., Wygant v. Jackson Ed. districts in order to comply with the Voting Rights Act. This small sample only begins to scratch the surface of the problems raised by the majority's test. ); post, at 684, and n. 6 (opinion of SOUTER, J. It winds in snakelike fashion through tobacco country, financial centers, and manufacturing areas "until it gobbles in. SHAW v. RENO(1993) No. Our voting rights precedents support that conclusion. [W]e believe that reapportionment is one area in which appearances do matter. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google. Because appellants here stated such a claim, the District Court erred in dismissing their complaint. SHAW ET AL. Shaw appealed. In the absence of an allegation of such harm, I would affirm the judgment of the District Court. You already receive all suggested Justia Opinion Summary Newsletters. Nonetheless, the notion that North Carolina's plan, under which whites remain a voting majority in a disproportionate number of congressional districts, and pursuant to which the State has sent its first black representatives since Reconstruction to the United States Congress, might have violated appellants' constitutional rights is both a fiction and a departure from settled equal protection principles. The Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution, surely, does not stand in the way. Action verbs tell what the subject is doing or what is being done to the subject. What appellants object to is redistricting legislation that is so extremely irregular on its face that it rationally can be viewed only as an effort to segregate the races for purposes of voting, without regard for traditional districting principles and without sufficiently compelling justification. The second majority-black district, District 12, is even more unusually shaped. It also will be true where the minority population is not scattered but, for reasons unrelated to racefor example incumbency protection-the State would rather not create the majority-minority district in its most "obvious" location.10 When, as is the case here, the creation of. Following is the Case Brief for Baker v. Carr, United States Supreme Court, (1962) Case Summary of Baker v. Carr: A Tennessee resident brought suit against the Secretary of State claiming that the failure to redraw the legislative districts every ten years, as outlined in the state constitution, resulted in rural votes holding more votes . The determinative consideration for the Court was that the law, though ostensibly race neutral, on its face "embod[ied] no exercise of judgment and rest[ed] upon no discernible reason" other than to circumvent the prohibitions of the Fifteenth Amendment. See id., at 55,58. 12(b)(6). electoral process. 3 Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act requires a covered jurisdiction to demonstrate either to the Attorney General or to the District Court that each new districting plan "does not have the purpose and will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race[,] color, or [membership in a language minority.]" To begin with, the complaint nowhere alleges any type of stigmatic harm. There is thus no theoretical inconsistency in having two distinct approaches to equal protection analysis, one for. To allow judicial interference whenever this occurs would be to invite constant and unmanageable intrusion. United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburgh, Inc. v. Carey, 430 U. S. 144, 161-162 (1977) (UJO) (pluralityopinion of WHITE, J., joined by Brennan, BLACKMUN, and STEVENS, JJ. The other part of the majority's explanation of its holding is related to its simultaneous discomfort and fascination with irregularly shaped districts. See Wright v. Rockefeller, 211 F. Supp. Statement 102a. The difficulty of proof, of course, does not mean that a racial gerrymander, once established, should receive less scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause than other state legislation classifying citizens by race. The majority's contrary view is perplexing in light of its concession that "compactness or attractiveness has never been held to constitute an independent federal constitutional requirement for state legislative districts." There are three financing options: 1. 5 See Richmond v. J. 92-357 . In Whitcomb v. Chavis, 403 U. S., at 149, we searched in vain for evidence that black voters "had less opportunity than did other residents to participate in the political processes and to elect legislators of their choice." It is unnecessary for us to decide whether or how a reapportionment plan that, on its face, can be explained in nonracial terms successfully could be challenged. 1300 (1966). Accord, Loving v. Virginia, 388 U. S. 1, 11 (1967). A new issue of 20-year bonds: The flotation costs of the new bonds would be 4% of the proceeds. Indeed, the Voting Rights Act and our case law make clear that a reapportionment plan that satisfies 5 still may be enjoined as unconstitutional. zarre shape of District 12 demonstrates, and that there is no evidence of black political cohesion. 2. 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. 92-357. to Brief for Federal Appellees lOa. A new issue of common stock: The flotation costs of the new common stock would be 8% of the amount raised. Constitutional Law for a Changing America Resource Center, 13. Indeed, because most of the nonwhite voters lived together in one area, it would have been difficult to construct voting districts without concentrations of nonwhite voters. Laws, ch. Increased use of accounts payable financing: Because this financing is part of the companys ongoing daily business, it has no flotation costs, and the company assigns it a cost that is the same as the overall firm WACC. But "[a] number of states refused to take no for an answer and continued to circumvent the fifteenth amendment's prohibition through the use of both subtle and blunt instruments, perpetuating ugly patterns of pervasive racial discrimination." Given two districts drawn on similar, race-based grounds, the one does not become more injurious than the other simply by virtue of being snakelike, at least so far as the Constitution is concerned and absent any evidence of differential racial impact. Under the three-part test established by Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U. S. 30, 50-51 (1986), a minority group must show that it could constitute the majority in a single-member district, "that it is politically cohesive," and "that the white majority votes sufficiently as a bloc to enable it usually to defeat the minority's preferred candidate." against anyone by denying equal access to the political process. Ante, at 646 (emphasis in original). 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.''' 9 As has been remarked, "[d]ragons, bacon strips, dumbbells and other strained shapes are not always reliable signs that partisan (or racial or ethnic or factional) interests are being served, while the most regularly drawn district may turn out to have been skillfully constructed with an intent to aid one party." The Court held that although North Carolina's reapportionment plan was racially neutral on its face, the resulting district shape was bizarre enough to suggest that it constituted an effort to separate voters into different districts based on race. 4 The majority's use of "segregation" to describe the effect of districting here may suggest that it carries effects comparable to school segregation making it subject to like scrutiny. Under the General Assembly's plan, two will vote for congressional representatives in District 12 and three will vote in neighboring District 2. the group claimed that the districts were racial gerrymanders that violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Draper identified on February 15 that a customer was not going to pay his receivable of $200 from December 9. Complaint' 29, App. See Davis v. Bandemer, 478 U. S., at 118-127. understood as anything other than an effort to "segregat[e] voters" on the basis of race. Such evidence will always be useful in cases that lack other evidence of invidious intent. UJO's framework simply does not apply where, as here, a reapportionment plan is alleged to be so irrational on its face that it immediately offends principles of racial equality. What I am saying is that in electoral districting there frequently are permissible uses of race, such as its use to comply with the Voting Rights Act, as well as impermissible ones. Proc. Id., at 151-152 (emphasis added). Put differently, we believe that reapportionment is one area in which appearances do matter. A reapportionment statute typically does not classify persons at all; it classifies tracts of land, or addresses. of Cal. See Karcher, supra, at 776 (WHITE, J., dissenting); Wells v. Rockefeller, 394 U. S. 542, 554 (1969) (WHITE, J., dissenting). 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." to Brief for Federal Appellees 16a. It may therefore be that few electoral districting cases are ever likely to employ the strict scrutiny the Court holds to be applicable on remand if appellants' allegations are "not contradicted." It involves, instead, an attempt to equalize treatment, and to provide minority voters with an effective voice in the political process. That racial bloc voting or minority political cohesion may be found to exist in some cases, of course, is no reason to treat all racial gerrymanders differently from other kinds of racial classification. They also contend that recent black electoral successes demonstrate the willingness of white voters in North Carolina to vote for black candidates. See, e. g., Gomillion v. Lightfoot, 364 U. S. 339,341. and by him referred to the Court in No. Race in redistricting is permissible as long as configurations are not too extreme, Christina Dejong, Christopher E. Smith, George F Cole, Government in America: Elections and Updates Edition, George C. Edwards III, Martin P. Wattenberg, Robert L. Lineberry. US attorney general rejected a North Carolina congressional reappointment plan because the plan created only one black majority district, 1. Of the following two options-creation of two minority influence districts or of a single majority-minority district-is one "narrowly tailored" and the other not? The Court reasoned: "If these allegations upon a trial remained uncontradicted or unqualified, the conclusion would be irresistible, tantamount for all practical purposes to a mathematical demonstration, that the legislation is solely concerned with segregating white and colored voters by fencing Negro citizens out of town so as to deprive them of their pre-existing municipal vote." Nor is there any support for the. 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." JUSTICE WHITE WITH WHOM JUSTICE BLACKMUN AND JUSTICE STEVENS JOIN, DISSENTING. for a remand at all, even accepting the majority's basic approach to this case. Redistricting plans also reflect group interests and inevitably are conceived with partisan aims in mind. Here, the Attorney General objected to the State's plan on the ground that it failed to draw a second majority-minority district for what appeared to be pretextual reasons. No. 2 Recognition of actual commonality of interest and racially polarized bloc voting cannot be equated with the "'invocation of race stereotypes'" described by the Court, ante, at 648 (quoting Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Co., 500 U. S. 614, 630-631 (1991)), and forbidden by our case law. 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). Analogous Case. Yes; the Court agreed that the shape of the proposed district was so odd that there was no compelling explanation for its shape other than separating voters by race. Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U. S. 483; McLaughlin v. Florida, 379 U. S. 184. Cf. (equating various articulations of standards of review "more stringent" than "'reasonableness'" with "strict scrutiny"). There is a characteristic coincidence of disadvantageous effect and illegitimate purpose associated with the State's use of race in those situations in which it has immediately trig-. Appellants, five North Carolina residents, filed this action against appellee state and federal officials, claiming that the State had created an unconstitutional racial gerrymander in violation of, among other things, the Fourteenth Amendment. Statement 67a-lOOa (Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction and For Temporary Restraining Order). Drawing on the "one person, one vote" principle, this Court recognized that "[t]he right to vote can be affected by adilutionof voting power as well as by an absolute prohibition on casting a ballot." In other words, the "analytically distinct claim" the majority discovers today was in plain view and did not carry the day for petitioners. In some exceptional cases, a reapportionment plan may be so highly irregular that, on its face, it rationally cannot be. The state appellees submit that two pieces of evidence gave the General Assembly a strong basis for believing that remedial action was warranted here: the Attorney General's imposition of the 5 preclearance requirement on 40 North Carolina counties, and the Gingles District Court's findings of a long history of official racial discrimination in North Carolina's political system and of pervasive racial bloc voting. Gaffney v. Cummings, 412. 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? several smaller, dispersed facilities? 16-19. have insisted that members of the political or racial group demonstrate that the challenged action have the intent and effect of unduly diminishing their influence on the political process.1 Although this severe burden has limited the number of successful suits, it was adopted for sound reasons. Find the derivative T(t)T^{\prime}(t)T(t). In the 17th, 19th, and 20th Districts, whites constituted respectively 94.9%, 71.5%, and 72.5% of the population. Tr. 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 authorization - North Carolina submitted to the Attorney General a congressional . " In Shaw v. Reno (1993), the Court ruled that electoral districts whose boundaries cannot be explained except on the basis of race can be challenged as potential violations of the equal protection clause, and in Miller v. Johnson (1995) it held that the equal protection clause Read More opinion of O'Connor In Sandra Day O'Connor Thus. See Appendix, infra. A reapportionment plan would not be narrowly tailored to the goal of avoiding retrogression if the State went beyond what was reasonably necessary to avoid retrogression. R. Dixon, Democratic Representation: Reapportionment in Law and Politics 459 (1968). It therefore warrants different analysis. Appellants contend that redistricting legislation that is so bizarre on its face that it is "unexplainable on grounds other than race," Arlington Heights, supra, at 266, demands the same close scrutiny that we give other state laws that classify citizens by race. Second, JUSTICE STEVENS argues that racial gerrymandering poses no constitutional difficulties when district lines are drawn to favor the minority, rather than the majority. It is against this background that we confront the questions presented here. If, on remand, the allegations of a racial gerrymander are not contradicted, the District Court must determine whether the plan is narrowly tailored to further a compelling governmental interest.

Hess; and for the Washington Legal Foundation et al. 7 I borrow the term "segregate" from the majority, but, given its historical connotation, believe that its use is ill advised. UJO concerned New York's revision of a reapportionment plan to include additional majority-minority districts in response to the Attorney General's denial of administrative preclearance under 5. 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. The Supreme Court of the United States (Supreme Court) held that the Appellants, Shaw and others (Appellants), have a legitimate claim that North Carolina's redistricting scheme was so irregular on its face that it could only be viewed as an effort to segregate races for the purposes of voting, without regard for traditional districting post, at 684-685 (dissenting opinion). 7. In some States, registration of eligible black voters ran 50% behind that of whites. A special three-judge district court dismissed the suit against both the attorney general and the state officials. upon an extraordinary justification. The Attorney General's interposition of a 5 objection "properly is viewed" as "an administrative finding of discrimination" against a racial minority. 6-10 (STEVENS, J., concurring in judgment). a. Indeed, the facts of the case would not have supported such a claim. 4 The Court's opinion suggests that African-Americans may now be the only group to which it is unconstitutional to offer specific benefits from redistricting. Gomillion, supra, at 341. Karcher v. Daggett, 462 U. S. 725, 755 (1983) (STEVENS, J., concurring) ("One need not use Justice Stewart's classic definition of obscenity-'I know it when I see it' -as an ultimate standard for judging the constitutionality of a gerrymander to recognize that dramatically irregular shapes may have sufficient probative force to call for an explanation" (footnotes omitted)). The District Court below relied on these portions of UJO to reject appellants' claim. In short, even assuming that racial (or political) factors were considered in the drawing of district boundaries, a showing of discriminatory effects is a "threshold requirement" in the absence of which there is no equal protection violation, id., at 143, and no need to "reach the question of the state interests served by the particular districts," id., at 142.4, To distinguish a claim that alleges that the redistricting scheme has discriminatory intent and effect from one that does not has nothing to do with dividing racial classifications between the "benign" and the malicious-an enterprise which, as the majority notes, the Court has treated with skepticism. See ante, at 642-643. Redistricters have to justify themselves. Express racial classifications are immediately suspect because, "[a]bsent searching judicial inquiry , there is simply no way of determining what classifications are 'benign' or 'remedial' and what classi-. 1237, 1261, n. 96 (1993) (internal quotation marks omitted). 442 U. S., at 272. ority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone." 42 U. S. C. 1973(b). They sought similar relief against the federal appellees, arguing, alternatively, that the federal appellees had misconstrued the Voting Rights Act or that the Act itself was unconstitutional. These arguments were not developed below, and the issues remain open for consideration on remand. Seeing no good reason to engage in either, I dissent. 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. As we have explained, however, reapportionment legislation that cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to classify and separate voters by race injures voters in other ways. Shaw v. Reno is an important decision because it represents a conservative shift on the Court. Its considering building a new $65 million manufacturing facility. Even Justice Whit-. 6 This is not to say that a group that has been afforded roughly proportional representation never can make out a claim of unconstitutional discrimination. I have no doubt that a State's compliance with the Voting Rights Act clearly constitutes a compelling interest. of Ed., 476 U. S. 267, 277-278 (plurality opinion). 14, 1. 439, as amended, 42 U. S. C. 1973c, the General Assembly passed new legislation creating a second majority-black district. In my view there is no justification for the. whether appellants' complaint stated a claim under constitutional provisions other than the Fourteenth Amendment. In our view, the District Court properly dismissed appellants' claims against the federal appellees. In this case, the Attorney General suggested that North Carolina could have created a reasonably compact second majority-minority district in the south-central to southeastern part of the State. But their loose and imprecise use by today's majority has, I fear, led it astray. The state appellees alternatively argue that the General Assembly's plan advanced a compelling interest entirely distinct from the Voting Rights Act. See, e. g., Chapman v. Meier, 420 U. S. 1, 17 (1975); White v. Regester, 412 U. S. 755, 765-766 (1973). Meanwhile, in other districting cases, specific consequential harm will still need to be pleaded and proven, in the absence of which the use of race may be invalidated only if it is shown to serve no legitimate state purpose. Shortly after the complaint in Pope v. Blue was filed, appellants instituted the present action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The only other case invoked by the majority is Wright v. Rockefeller, supra. Because the holding is limited to such anomalous circumstances, it perhaps will not substantially hamper a State's legitimate efforts to redistrict in favor of racial minorities. Is it more "narrowly tailored" to create an irregular majority-minority district as opposed to one that is compact but harms other state interests such as incumbency protection or the representation of rural interests? That it may be difficult to determine from the face of a single-member districting plan that it makes such a distinction does not mean that a racial gerrymander, once established, should receive less scrutiny than other legislation classifying citizens by race. See Growe v. Emison, 507 U. S. 25, 40-41 (1993) ("Unless these points are established, there neither has been a wrong nor can be a remedy"). Justice Whittaker, however, concluded that the "unlawful segregation of races of citizens" into different voting districts was cognizable under the Equal Protection Clause. Allen v. State Board of Elections(1969) (emphasis added). ("United Jewish Organizations properly is viewed as a case in which the remedy for an administrative finding of discrimination encompassed measures to improve the previously disadvantaged group's ability to participate, without excluding individuals belonging to any other group from enjoyment of the relevant opportunity-meaningful participation in the electoral process") (emphasis added).
