Scott, who also reportedly re ceived most of the Negro bloc vote throughout the State, got 4,594 votes in Madison. Blue got 315 and Sen.

The court in a series of decisions held that state senators as well as representatives must be elected on an equal population basis. - The first ruling of the .day came on the Alabama easel Then the court threw out both a present and proposed apportion ment plan for New York. In the New York case, Chief Justice Earl Warren said: “Nei ther the existing scheme nor the forthcoming one can be constitu tionally condoned.” The New York opinion reversed a lower court which in August, 1962, had upheld the constitutionality of the 68-year-old formula for appor tioning seats in both the senate and the assembly. Warren said the lower court “act ing under equitable principles, must now determine whether, because of the imminence of the November election and in order to give the New York Legislature an opport unity to fashion a constitutionally valid legislative apportionment plan, -it wmrid be desirable to permit the 1964 election of legislators to be conducted pursuant to the existing provisions” An alternative, he said, would be whether under the circumstances the right to a properly weighted voice in the election of state legis lators should not be delayed beyond the 1964 election. Justices Potter Stewart and Tom C. Clark dissented from the New York decision. The court then similarly disposed of the Colorado case with Stewart and Clark again dissenting. A lower court had upheld the Colorado plan, which was set up under a 1962 amendment to the state constitution.
