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.
