US Supreme Court decision of 1964 dealing with apportionment of Congressional districts. After a suit against Georgia's apportionment statute was dismissed by the federal circuit court, the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that all Congressional districts must be equal in size of voting population. The Georgia statute was declared invalid because its unequal apportionment gave greater voting power to residents of certain districts.
