Davis v. Mann
''Davis v. Mann'', 377 U.S. 678 (1964) was a United States Supreme Court which was one of a series of cases decided in 1964 that ruled that state legislature districts had to be roughly equal in population. It was issued along with ''Reynolds v. Sims'' and cites that case the opinion.
== Background ==
Voters from Arlington County and Fairfax County, Virginia challenged the apportionment of the Virginia General Assembly. Voters from Norfolk, Virginia were permitted to intervene as plaintiffs and on appeal, the United States intervened as ''amicus curiae'' to support the appellees.
Under the 1962 redistricting statute, in order to keep counties and cities wholly in a district, there were wide disparities in the population of Senate and House of Delegates districts. Arlington County, for example, was apportioned one senator for its 163,401 persons, only .61 of the representation to which it would be entitled on a strict population basis, while the smallest senatorial district, with respect to population, had only 61,730, and the next smallest 63,703. The District Court found "that the maximum population-variance ratio between the most populous and least populous senatorial districts is 2.65-to-1. Under the 1962 senatorial apportionment, applying 1960 population figures, approximately 41.1% of the State's total population reside in districts electing a majority of the members of that body." ''Davis'' at 687-688.
