- Glenn Barrington, elected to the School Board as a resident of District 1, said Tuesday that he is unhappy with the recommended options for redistricting presented by Hillsborough Elections Supervisor Pam Iorio. ...
- "That way I can have some control over my district. ...
- Currently, no district is more than 19. ... Justice Department will not find the current districts in conformance with the Voting Rights Act, Iorio said. ...
- Under her recommended changes, blacks would make up 39 percent of the registered voters in one district. In another district, Hispanics would make up 21 percent. ...
- Should Barrington run for re-election in 2000, Iorio is suggesting redistricting that would place Barrington's Seminole Heights neighborhood into a district that would also encompass Brandon. ...
- Under Florida law, an incumbent's residence must be kept within his existing district. ...
- Should Barrington not seek another term, Iorio's preferred option is for District 1 to become a rural, southeastern zone, combining such communities as Brandon, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Sun City, Wimauma and Ruskin, but not Seminole Heights. ...
- The preferred of the two would have District 4 encompassing Plant City, Thonotosassa, Temple Terrace, New Tampa and part of Lutz. ...
- District 3 would encompass northwest Hillsborough, including such areas as Carrollwood, Odessa, Keystone, Forest Hills and part of Town 'N Country. ...
- The rest of Town 'N Country would be in District 2, which also would include south Tampa, Davis Islands, West Tampa and Seminole Heights. ...
- District 5, which would be 39 percent black, would include Ybor City, College Hill, part of Thonotosassa and the north University area. ...

- The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which required equal access to public places and outlawed discrimination in employment, was a major victory of the black freedom struggle, but the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was its crowning achievement. The 1965 Act suspended literacy tests and other voter tests and authorized federal supervision of voter registration in states and individual voting districts where such tests were being used. ... If voting discrimination occurred, the 1965 Act authorized the attorney general to send federal examiners to replace local registrars. ...

- for the Western District of Texas .
- With our diverse ethnic makeup, this demand for results in voting has surfaced profound questions of a democratic political order such as the limits on rearranging state structures to alter election outcomes, and majority rule at the ballot box and even in legislative halls, questions Congress has provoked but not answered. All this can make a simple voting rights case seem difficult, certainly so with state judges elected on a partisan ballot. Today our difficulties of fitting the Act to the unique features of the state judiciary and sorting out racial and partisan voting are large but the merits of the claims are easily grasped. ... The evidence of any dilution of minority voting power is marginal at best. We are not persuaded that a violation of the Voting Rights Act has been proved and we reverse. ...
- On July 11, 1988, ten individual voters and the League of United Latin American Citizens sued in federal district court alleging that Texas' system of electing state trial judges violated 2 of the Voting Rights Act and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments in several Texas counties. ... On March 12, 1989, the district court granted the motions to intervene of the Houston Lawyers' Association, the Legislative Black Caucus, and two Texas district court judges, in their individual capacities--Sharolyn Wood, 127th District Court in Harris County, and Harold Entz, 194th District Court in Dallas County. ...
- At the same time, each trial court is a distinct court, such as the 134th judicial district court of Dallas County, with county-wide jurisdiction and its own history of incumbents. ... Plaintiffs contend that electing trial judges county-wide violates 2 of the Voting Rights Act by impermissibly diluting the voting power of Hispanics and blacks. ...
- On November 8, 1989, the district court found county-wide elections violated 2 in all nine counties, enjoined future elections, divided the nine counties into electoral subdistricts, and ordered a nonpartisan election for May 5, 1990, with any runoff to be held on June 2. The district court rejected the constitutional arguments, finding that plaintiffs had failed to prove that Texas instituted or maintained the electoral system with discriminatory intent. ... Unhappy with nonpartisan elections ordered by the district court, the Texas Attorney General first moved the court to alter its interim plan. ... (4) We stayed the district court's order pending appeal. ...

- APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA No. ... The Court remanded for further consideration by the District Court, which held that, although the North Carolina redistricting plan did classify voters by race, the classification survived strict scrutiny, and therefore was constitutional, because it was narrowly tailored to further the State's compelling interests in complying with Sections 2 and 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. ... Only the two appellants who live in District 12 have standing to continue this lawsuit, and only with respect to that district. The remaining appellants, who do not reside in either of the challenged districts and have not provided specific evidence that they personally were assigned to their voting districts on the basis of race, lack standing. ... (a) Strict scrutiny applies when race is the "predominant" consideration in drawing district lines such that "the legislature subordinates race-neutral districting principles. ... The District Court's finding that the North Carolina General Assembly "deliberately drew" District 12 so that it would have an effective voting majority of black citizens, when read in the light of the evidence as to the district's shape and demographics and the legislature's objective, comports with the Miller standard. ... (b) None of the three separate ``compelling interests'' to which appellees point suffices to sustain District 12. First, the District Court found that the State's claimed interest in eradicating the effects of past discrimination did not actually precipitate the use of race in the redistricting plan, and the record does not establish that that finding was clearly erroneous. Second, the asserted interest in complying with Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act did not justify redistricting here, since creating an additional majority-black district, as urged by the Justice Department before it granted preclearance, was not required under a correct reading of Section 5. ... Third, District 12, as drawn, is not a remedy narrowly tailored to the State's professed interest in avoiding liability under Section 2 of the Act, which, inter alia, prohibits dilution of the voting strength of members of a minority group. District 12 could not remedy any potential Section 2 violation, since the minority group must be shown to be "geographically compact" to establish Section 2 liability, see, e.
