The Requirement of Concurrent Majorities in a Charter Referendum: The Supreme Court's Retreat from Voting Equity

Authors

Philip L. Martin

Abstract

The United States Supreme Court recently upheld a New York law requiring that any changes in county government must be approved by a majority of city residents and a majority of noncity dwellers. The author discusses the case and concludes that its result is inconsistent with the "one person-one vote" concept.
