Question 5 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

What was the Supreme Court’s decision in Gray v. Sanders?

Answer
A
Georgia’s county unit system was constitutional.
B
Elections should be fair and equal for every voter in the system.
C
Georgia’s county elections should be weighted in favor of rural voters.
D
Urban voters required more polling places than rural voters.

Explanation

In Gray v. Sanders (1963), the Supreme Court struck down Georgia’s county unit system for statewide elections because it gave votes in less-populated rural counties more weight than votes in urban counties. The Court’s ruling upheld the principle that each voter’s vote should count equally, often summarized as “one person, one vote.” Therefore, the correct choice is “Elections should be fair and equal for every voter in the system.”
