20. Cox v. Larios 2004Supreme Court of the United States In challenging the District Court's judgment, appellant invites us to weaken the one-person, one-vote standard by creating a safe harbor for population deviations of less than 10 percent, within which districting decisions could be made for any reason whatsoever. The Court properly rejects that invitation. After our recent decision in Vieth v. Jubelirer, 541 U. S. 267 (2004), the equal-population principle remains the only clear limitation on improper districting practices, and we must be careful not to dilute its strength.
21. Dramatic ChangesAhead Past guidance on variance had been under 10%. Cox v Larios Low district variance is the only clear limitation on improper districting.
