No Contest Elections 2002

From the report:
"This report is the second in a biennial series. The inaugural 1999 report faulted noncompetitive elections as undemocratic, failing to provide adequate accountability, creating imbalance in political power, Balkanizing the state, excluding most voters from the campaign debate, and taking away incentives to vote. This report adds discussion of the trade-offs associated with 'minority opportunity' districts that show themselves in this districting plan."
