Williams No. 71-221 Decided January 24, 1972 404 U.S. 549 APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI Syllabus Appellants challenge a federal court-ordered reapportionment plan for the 1971 elections of Mississippi state legislators, which permitted a total variance of approximately 19% between the largest and smallest House and Senate districts.

Held: 1. Even if it be assumed that congressional redistricting decisions of this Court, which appellants rely on, are controlling here, it does not follow that the 1971 elections should be invalid...
