CASE SUMMARY

A District Court held that petitioners enjoyed no constitutional right in reapportionment to separate community recognition as Hasidic Jews; that the redistricting did not disenfranchise them; and that racial considerations were permissible to correct past discrimination. The District Court was affirmed by the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.
