...President has created the general impression of a well-qualified administrator putting in long hours and trying to do a first-rate job. He fits the image of a proper, upright, law-abiding citizen of humble background who has succeeded through perseverance.

Proclaiming that for one man's vote to carry more weight than another's is a denial of equal protection of the law, the court ruled in subsequent cases that voting districts of unequal population were illegal for Congress (Wesberry v. Sanders, 1964), and for legislative bodies in the states (Reynolds v. Sims, 1964), and in local government (Avery v. Midland County, 1968) as well...
