Description
This appeal involves a challenge to the Ward Redistricting Amendment Act of 2001 (the Ward Redistricting Act or the Act), which redrew the boundaries of the District of Columbias eight electoral wards following the 2000 census. See D.C. CODE § 1-1041.03 (Supp. 2003). Shortly before the new ward boundaries took effect, appellants Kingman Park Civic Association (KPCA) and Chevy Chase Civic Association (CCCA) brought suit in the District Court against D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams (the Mayor) in his official capacity and the members of the D.C. Council (the Council) in their official capacities, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. Appellants claimed that the Act dilutes African-American voting strength in Ward Six and citywide in violation of § 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Voting Rights Act), 42 U.S.C. § 1973 (2003), and violates various provisions of D.C. law governing ward redistricting.
