Lion Raisins, Inc. v. Ross
Petition for certiorari denied on May 16, 2022
Issue: Whether the Supreme Court’s voting rights jurisprudence
permits the government to empower a private association (here, an agricultural cooperative) to cast all its
members’ votes as a bloc on the theory that such voting schemes are subject to rational-basis review and
the government may “give greater influence to some
voters as long as the apportionment of power is not
‘wholly irrelevant’ to the [government’s] objectives.”
