Kidd v. Cox (Beverly B. Martin, N.D. Ga. 1:06-cv-997)
As the qualifying period for filing candidacy papers closed, a possible candidate and three voters filed a constitutional challenge to state legislative district lines. The plaintiffs sought an emergency hearing by a three-judge district court. The three-judge court extended the deadline and heard the case. The court ruled against the plaintiffs, finding the population deviations to be within constitutional limits.
