Demographic Paradoxes in the Los Angeles Voting Rights Case.

Clark, William A. V.; Morrison, Peter A.

Evaluation Review, v15 n6 p712-28 Dec 1991

How technical demographic analysis can inform and confuse judicial considerations of voting rights principles is illustrated in a review of a 1990 case brought against Los Angeles County (California). A postscripted article considers whether the court involved should rely on after-census estimates for redistricting. (SLD)
