United States Eleventh Circuit

The Georgia General Assembly's local delegations do not engage in the governmental function of lawmaking, thus the "one person, one vote" requirement does not apply to the delegations; changes in the decision-making authority of elected officials are not changes in voting practices requiring preclearance under the Voting Rights Act.
