MOBILE v. BOLDEN 446 U.S. 55 (1980)A fragmented Supreme Court majority upheld, 6–3, Mobile's at-large system for electing city commissioners, although the system diluted the voting strength of black voters by submerging them in a white majority. The plurality found that purposeful RACIAL DISCRIMINATION had not been demonstrated. (See WASHINGTON V. DAVIS; ROGERS V. LODGE.) In 1982 Congress amended the VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 to permit reliance on racially discriminatory "results" to show a violation of the act's prohibitions. KENNETH L. KARST |
