 In today's NY Times article, Justin is cited for the helpful statistic that 85% of VRA submissions since 1982, 85% were from local governments.  Does anyone have information that would compare what percentage of submissions were objected to at the state versus local level?  I would prefer more recent data, starting with 2000 for example, since we know that in the 1980s, much of the action centered on breaking up at-large local government structures.  But I'll take any data that makes the state/local comparison in terms of rates of objections/submissions.
