Supreme Court of the United States
League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry
June 28, 2006548 U.S. 399
Summary
The Court affirmed the District Court's dismissal of statewide political gerrymandering claims due to the lack of a reliable standard. It reversed the dismissal of the Voting Rights Act claim in District 23, finding Latino vote dilution because the remedial District 25 was not reasonably compact. It affirmed the dismissal of the Voting Rights Act claim regarding District 24. Justice Stevens concurred in part and dissented in part, arguing the entire plan was invalid due to partisan motivation.
