Description
Under date of March 20, 1981 we issued our opinion in this matter, 5th Cir., 639 F.2d 1383. Because both the majority and concurring opinions discuss the question of ""unresponsiveness"" by the public body in question, we supplement our holding by taking specific note of the language in footnote 9 of the recent case of Rogers v. Lodge, 458 U.S. 613, 102 S. Ct. 3272, 73 L. Ed. 2d 1012 (1982) wherein the United States Supreme Court states: The Court of Appeals held that ""proof of unresponsiveness by the public body in question to the group claiming injury"" is an essential element of a claim of voting dilution under the Fourteenth Amendment. 639 F.2d at 1375. Under our cases, however, unresponsiveness is an important element but only one of a number of circumstances a court should consider in determining whether discriminatory purpose may be inferred.
