Wesberry, Jr., the plaintiff, alleged that, because the population of his congressional district was two to three times larger than that of other congressional districts in Georgia, the impact of his vote had been diluted relative to other state residents, violating the United States Constitution.

The issue: "Did Georgia's congressional districts violate the Fourteenth Amendment or deprive citizens of the full benefit of their right to vote?""[1]

The outcome: The court ruled 6-3 in favor of Wesberry, finding that the population disparities between Georgia's congressional districts violated the U.S. Constitution. The court held that "as nearly as is practicable, one person's vote in a congressional election is to be worth as much as another's."
