WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court said Monday it will decide a case over the drawing of legislative boundaries that could affect the ability of minorities to elect their candidates of choice.
The case will be argued in the fall and will be decided well in advance of the redrawing of political districts that will follow the 2010 Census.
The dispute from North Carolina involves state legislative districts in which black voters make up less than 50 percent of the population, but still are numerous enough to elect a black candidate.
