How later courts describe this case
- minority population should be 65 percent of the total population in a district in order for the minority group to have the ability to elect candidates of its choice
- it was an abuse of discretion for the district court to fail to use a 65% super majority in fashioning a remedy because it failed to give the minority group a realistic opportunity to elect a representative of its choice
