leave to file a Brief Amici Curiae in the 
instant appeal. Amici are organizations 
dedicated to protection of the right to 
vote of minorities, especially Black Ameri

Appellees have consented to the re
quest. Appellants have not.

Court should decide in this appeal no more 
than that Appellees have submitted suffi
cient evidence to sustain their burden of 
proof and persuasion. Amici also argue 
that the decision herein should be based 
on evidentiary principles universally ap
plied in the federal courts. These argu
ments, as developed in the Brief Amici 
Curiae, have not been presented by the 
parties. Yet, they are critical for
proper disposition of this appeal. For
