Johnson v. De Grandy
512 U.S. 997 (1994)
Key Principle
A vote-dilution claim under section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is not established merely by satisfying the three Gingles preconditions; the court must weigh the totality of circumstances, in which rough proportionality between minority-controlled districts and the minority share of the voting-age population is a relevant, though not dispositive, factor.
