  • KARCHER V. DAGGETT
    KARCHER v. DAGGETT Syllabus KARCHER, SPEAKER, NEW JERSEY ASSEMBLY, ET AL. v. DAGGETT ET AL. APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY No. 81-2057. Argued March 2, 1983--Decided June 22, 1983 As a result of the 1980 census, the New Jersey Legislature reapportioned the State's congressional districts. The reapportionment plan contained 14 districts, with an average population per district of 526,059, each dis- trict, on the average, differing from the "ideal" figure by 0.1384%. The largest district (Fourth District) had a population of 527,472, and the smallest (Sixth District) had a population of 523,798, the difference be- tween them being 0.6984% of the average district. In a suit by a group of individuals challenging the plan's validity, the District Court held that the plan violated Art. I, § 2, of the Constitution because the population deviations among districts, although small, were not the result of a good- faith effort to achieve population equality. Held: 1. The "equal representation" standard of Art. I, § 2, requires that congressional districts be apportioned to achieve population equality as nearly as is practicable. Parties challenging apportionment legislation bear the burden of proving that population differences among districts could have been reduced or eliminated by a good-faith effort to draw districts of equal population. If the plaintiffs carry their burden, the State must then bear the burden of proving that each significant vari- ance between districts was necessary to achieve some legitimate goal. Cf. Kirkpatrick v. Preisler, 894 U. S. 526; White v.

The Mandate of Equipopulous Congressional Districting: Karcher v. Daggett' — Article I, section 2 of the United States Constitution requires that members of the House of Representatives be chosen "by the People of the several States."' The Supreme Court has interpreted this requirement to mean not only that Representatives must be elected by popular vote,3 but also that each person's vote must he given equal weight.' Accordingly, states must draw congressional voting districts containing equal numbers of people, and districting plans are subject to judicial review to insure that this constitutional require- ment is met.' In the recent case of Karcher v. Daggell 6 the Supreme Court reviewed and found unconstitutional New jersey's latest congressional redistricting plan . 7 In a five-to-four decision, the Court reaffirmed its holding in Kirkpatrick v.
