How later courts describe this case
- holding that cattle theft is not a crime of dishonesty
- summarily affirming a District Court's finding that there was no prima facie case where the maximum population deviation was 9.43%
- alleged packing of minorities upheld because less than a 65% supermajority “may lead to ineffective minority control districts”
- “absent credible evidence that the maximum deviation exceeded 10 percent [it was 9.43%], plaintiffs failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination ... sufficient to warrant further analysis by this court.”
