Plantiff v. Albany (NY) County (2015), Albany
County must pay plaintiffs $1.7 million.
To news article
This lawsuit was against Albany County over their 2011
redistricting map, which was found to dilute the power
of minority voters. The plaintiffs in the case remain
unnamed at this point (will dig deeper), but the wording of
the article makes it seem like just the plaintiffs lawyers
will be receiving money. (is that how it normally works?)
