Supreme Court to Review 1 Man, 1 Vote

The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear a case filed by some disgruntled Texas voters that would determine whether legislative districts must be based on the number of legal voters in a district rather than the number of total residents. The voters, represented by a group that has filed other race-based challenges, claim their votes are being diluted by states that proportion to include undocumented residents—effecitvely making the votes of legal citizens worth less than they otherwise would be. “The one-person, one-vote principle, by its terms, entitles voters to an equal vote,” they said. “Unless the districting process no longer protects that right, the judgment below cannot stand.”
