| | City of Monroe v. United States, 522 U.S. 34 (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) |
 | | The 1968 Code was submitted to the Attorney General of the United States for preclearance under §5 of the Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1973c (since the entire State of Georgia was, and remains, subject to §5), and the Attorney General approved the provisions in question. |
 | | In two instances we have been presented with a question whether application of the default provision to effect a change in practice to majority voting was precleared by virtue of the blanket preclearance of the default provision. |
 | | Monroe, too, obtained a 1966 charter change purporting to enact a majority requirement, for which Monroe, too, failed to seek preclearance. |
