<x-flowed>In 1975, in Dallas County, Alabama v. Reese, the U.S. Supreme Court held that an at-large election system with residency districts of unequal size did not violate the one person one vote principal.  Does anyone know of any litigation since then in which a court has held that such a plan violated the U.S. Constitution (for other than racial vote dilution reasons)?
