Re: Chisom & United States V. Roemer 
Civil Action No. 86-4075 (Section A) (E.D. La.)  

Dear Mr. Pugh: 

Pursuant to the Court's order of September 2, 1988, in the 
above-referenced case I am providing you a copy of the report 
prepared by Dr. Bernard Grofman, the expert witness retained by 
the United States to analyze elections in the First Supreme Court 
District. As you are aware from our conversations and 
correspondence of the past two weeks, the state has not yet 
provided a complete and legible set of election returns. 
Accordingly, we reserve the right to supplement Dr. Grofman's 
report once we have received the material that is outstanding and 

Dr. Grofman has had an opportunity to review it. 

Sincerely, 

obert S. Berman 
Attorney, Voting Section

Report of Bernard Grofman 

I have been retained by counsel for the United States in 

Chisom v. Roemer, No. 86-4075 (E.D. La.) and requested to 

determine if judicial elections within the First Supreme Court 

District are marked by a pattern of racial polarization. In that 

regard, I have reviewed the reports of Drs. Richard Engstrom, 

Ronald Weber and Robert Miller previously prepared in this case. 

This is a preliminary report because the election returns 

provided to counsel for the United States for several elections 

were incomplete or 

A true and accurate copy of my curriculum vitae is attached 

to this report. In sum, I am a Professor of Political Science at 

the University of California, Irvine. My areas of specialization 

are comparative election systems, representation and redistrict-

ing issues, minority representation and voting rights, and poli-

tical and statistical methodology. I have been accepted as an 

expert on these topics by numerous U.S. District Courts. In par-

ticular, I served as the expert witness in Gingles v. Edmisten, 

590 F. Supp. 345 (E.D. N.C. 1984) aff'd in part, rev'd in part  

and remanded, Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986). 

1. The general principle is that racially polarized voting 

exists where there is "a consistent relationship between [the] 

race of the voter and the way in which the voter votes," or to 

put it differently, where "black voters and white voters vote 

differently," Thornburg v. Gingles (1986) 106 S. Ct. 2752 at 

2768 n. 21. 



• • 
2. Ecological regression and homogeneous precinct analyses 

are the standard methods of establishing the presence of racially 

polarized voting and these techniques were used by Dr. Weber and 

Dr. Engstrom. 

3. The analysis conducted by Dr. Engstrom of patterns of 

voting by race within Orleans Parish judicial elections uses the 

same methodology as I used in my testimony in Gingles v.  

Edmisten, supra. 

4. Based upon my review of the analyses of Dr. Weber and 

Dr. Engstrom, there is essentially no dispute about the 

percentages of white voters who support black candidates or the 

percentages of black voters who support black candidates. Drs. 

Weber and Engstrom differ only in the interpretation they place 

on the percentages relative to a standard for defining racially 

polarized voting. Based on my own independent review, I find the 

interpretation offered by Dr. Weber to be inappropriate. I 

concur fully in the conclusion reached by Dr. Engstrom that 

voting patterns within Orleans Parish in judicial elections 

reflect racial polarization. The level of polarization is 

clearly such as to rise to a level of significance as that term 

is commonly accepted in the fields of statistics and political 

science. 

5. Only a handful of black judicial candidates were 

elected, despite the fact that black candidates (with only 3 

exceptions) received the overwhelming voting support of the black 

community in numerous elections.

• 

6. There is clear evidence that black voters in Orleans 

Parish are "politically cohesive." The most direct evidence of 

this proposition is shown in Tables 1 and 3, Appendix C, to Dr. 

Engstrom's Affidavit. In 23 of 27 judicial contests in Orleans 

Parish with at least one black and at least one white candidate, 

at least 70% of the black votes went to the black candidate(s). 

In all but three of these 27 elections, a majority of black 

voters supported the black candidate(s). In a number of these 

elections, black support for the black candidate(s) was well in 

excess of 80%. 

7. The appropriate analysis of racial voting patterns 

focuses on contests involving at least one white and at least one 

black candidate. If the analysis of contests with both black and 

white candidates shows that there is racially polarized voting, 

that conclusion would stand despite any analysis of white vs. 

white contests. 

8. Indeed, in my expert witness testimony in Gingles, I 

analyzed only black versus white contests. As is true in the 

First Supreme Court Election District, if candidates who are 

black cannot be elected despite overwhelming black support 

because of the unwillingness of white voters to vote for them and 

if blacks were sometimes efficacious in electing white candidates 

over the opposition of a majority of white voters that would sup-

port the conclusion that black voters can have an equal oppor-

tunity to elect candidates of its choice only as long as those  

candidates are white. 



• 

9. In addition to the foregoing criteria, the elections 

analyzed should be (a) elections of the same type as are under 

challenge, (b) elections involving essentially the same elector-

ate as that involved in the jurisdiction under challenge, and (c) 

elections recent enough to be probative of current voting pat-

terns. The principle that I stated in my expert witness testimony 

in Gingles was that one would look at other types of elections 

only if there were not at least three elections of the preferred 

type on which conclusions about racially polarized voting could 

be based. 

10. In this case, Dr.Engstrom has identified far more than 

three elections which meet the criteria I stated in my testimony 

in Gingles. These 27 elections are listed in Appendix C to Dr. 

Engstrom's affidavit. These elections provide the best evidence 

on racially polarized voting for the case at hand. 

11. Elections within the first district provide the best 

evidence of voting patterns in the first district. Judicial 

elections obviously provide the best evidence for voting patterns 

when it is a judicial election system under challenge. A juris-

diction's voting patterns may differ across election type (e.g., 

primary vs. general, top of the ticket offices vs. lower offices, 

partisan contests vs. nonpartisan contests, etc.) and it is 

necessary to be assured that the potential absence of a pattern 

of racially polarized voting in elections for other contests does 

not skew the analysis for those offices being challenged. 



12. While exit polls may provide useful information, they 

can yield potentially unreliable conclusions about voter behavior 

involving racially related issues or minority candidates. For 

example, 1982 exit polls in California showed Thomas Bradley, the 

black mayor of Los Angeles, to have been elected governor in his 

contest against the Republican candidate, George Deukmejian (T.F. 

Pettigrew and D.A. Alston, Tom Bradley's Campaigns for Governor. 

Washington D.C.: Joint Center for Political Studies, 1988). Of 

course, in fact, Bradley narrowly lost. The reason that the exit 

polls overestimated Bradley's support is that people are 

reluctant to give socially unacceptable answers, such as answers 

which leave open the possibility that racial bias might have been 

motivating their vote. 

13. Dr. Miller's claim (Affidavit at p. 3, numbered 

paragraph 6) that it is necessary to "show not only the extent to 

which the electoral preferences of the minority group members 

differ from those of the rest of the electorate, [but] also . • • 

the extent to which the level of participation in the electoral 

process is lower amongst minority group members than others" 

(emphasis added) is contrary to the standard for racially 

polarized voting employed in Thornburg; black-white turnout 

differences are irrelevant to the questions of whether voting is 

or is not racially polarized. Similarly Dr. Miller's statement 

that it is necessary to explain voter behavior, and not merely to 

demonstrate that voting is racially polarized, is outside the 

5 



v 

mainstream of the professional standards in the area. (Affidavit, 

at p. 3, numbered paragraph 6.) 

14. Use of registration data by race is a standard method of 

establishing racially polarized voting (although other types of 

data, e.g., voting age population data or voter sign-in data may 

also be used if available). As the expert witness in Gingles, I 

used registration data by race and it was accepted as probative 

by the U.S. Supreme Court. Indeed, defendants' expert, Dr. Weber, 

uses the same data for his analysis. 

15. Both Dr. Weber and Dr. Engstrom use the (two-equation) 

ecological regression methodology. Their independent analyses 

demonstrate that the methodology can generate reliable estimates 

of voting behavior by race for Orleans Parish voters. For those 

elections where both provide estimates, their estimates are very 

similar and the differences are not statistically meaningful or 

politically significant. For example,

16. A review of the data compiled by Dr. Engstrom and Dr. 

Weber indicates that there has been no change in the high levels 

of political cohesion demonstrated by black voters in judicial 

elections in Orleans Parish. From 1978 to 1980, the average 

percentage of black voters voting for the black candidate(s) (as 

shown in Table 1 of Engstrom's Appendix C) was (32.0 + 96.7 + 

98.3 / 3)=75.8.8%. From the same table, the comparable figure 

for the 1980s was ((72.3 + 88.1 + 97.0 + 51.6 + 85.2 + 74.2 + 

88.3 + 97.1 + 74.7 + 92.3 + 54.0) / 11)=79.5%.

Current Research 

My current research is on mathematical models of group decision-making 
and focuses on small group behavior (especially juries) on the one hand 
and electoral behavior (especially reapportionment) on the other. I am 
also involved in modeling individual and group information processing and 
decision heuristics. I also have strong side interests in political 
propaganda, particularly political cartooning and satire, and in law and 
social science.
