Supreme Court Upholds "One Person, One Vote" Principle
------------------------------------------------------

In a victory for voting rights, the Supreme Court has unanimously upheld
the legal principle of "one person, one vote." The justices rejected a
challenge by conservative activists who wanted states to be able to
redraw districts based on eligible or registered voters, as opposed to
total population. Such a move would have made many districts older,
whiter and more conservative.
