Heaven forbid 5.22% of the population goes an entire additional year w/o an equal voice in City politics. Some under-represented citizen might get shorted a street light or a boulevard tree in that amount of time. But, then again, what do I know about such matters....
No, wait a minute, I just came-up with a great litmus test on the matter. How many of these "disenfranchised citizens" are part of the federal lawsuit? How many of them are even aware of the fact that they have state legislatures and a multitude of attorneys battling to get them equal representation a year early? On my test, the paper stayed the same color.....
