THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Supreme Court decisions that analyze and discuss issues surrounding election law and the right to vote. This Volume covers cases spanning from 1976 to 2010. Volume I covers cases spanning from 1946 to 1974.The right to vote is protected in more than the initial allocation of the franchise. Equal protection applies as well to the manner of its exercise. Having once granted the right to vote on equal terms, the State may not, by later arbitrary and disparate treatment, value one person's vote over that of another. See, e. g., Harper v. Virginia Bd. of Elections, 383 U. S. 663, 665 (1966) ([O]nce the franchise is granted to the electorate, lines may not be drawn which are inconsistent with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment). It must be remembered that the right of suffrage can be denied by a debasement or dilution of the weight of a citizen's vote just as effectively as by wholly prohibiting the free exercise of the franchise. Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533, 555 (1964). Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000).
