[EL] VRA Query

[Richard Winger]

It would be surprising if the Voting Rights Act said anythng about that, given that North Carolina and Louisiana have been doing that continuously for over 50 years.  One would have thought if the VRA prohibited that, those states would have stopped doing that long ago.

Responses can be on the listserv or to me personally.  Either way, I will pass them on.  Thanks.
