unconstitutional The court found that weighting individual ballots cast in Democratic primaries so as to favor rural over urban areas constitutes a violation of the 14th amendment Its landmark ruling was accompanied by a temporary injunction against state and Democratic party officials The injunction prohibits them from applying the unit system in determining the outcome of races for governor senator and other offices in the September 12 primary Plans an Appeal Eugene Cook attorney general said a request that the order be stayed pending an appeal to the Supreme court would be filed immediately Chief Judge Elbert Tuttle and Judge Griffin Bell of the fifth circuit court of appeals and District Judge Frank A Hooper made the ruling Their action nullified the product of a 2-week special legislative session called by Gov Ernest Vandiver The session was adjourned yesterday after reaching a compromise on changes designed to make the system acceptable to the court The ruling was a direct result of the Supreme decision March 26 in the Tennessee case of Baker vs Carr That ruling opened the way for the lower federal courts to review matters heretofore held to be The case involved a challenge to the failure to reapportion itself in line with population shifts as provided for in the Tennessee constitution Tight Vote Control Prior to its modification one vote in least-populous county equaled 99 votes in its most populous This had led to rural political control and had virtually nullified the power of Negroes and liberals The suit attacking the system was filed by Morris Abram an Atlanta lawer in behalf of James Sanders a Fulton County (Atlanta) voter Under the new system Fulton County was assigned 40 unit votes as the most populous Its least-populous county Echols received two Although unit votes allocated to these and other counties roughly followed population patterns the principle of rural control was retained The system provided for a runoff if no candidate received both a majority of the total unit vote and a majority of the popular vote as well The highest unit vote winner would face the highest popular vote candidate in that race which would nevertheless be decided on a unit vote basis The unit vote of a given county goes to the candidate receiving a plurality of the popular vote FLAW IN HIS FENCE Oversight Disclosed After Project
