4 The information contained in this table is taken from 
Weber's Report, Defendants' Exhibit 2, pp. 33-37 and Appendices C 
and E and Engstrom's Report, Plaintiff's Exhibit 1, Table 1. "*" 
designates a winning candidate. Weber's Report sets forth both 
weighted and unweighted regression analyses and. a homogenous 
precinct analysis. Engstrom's report provides both analyses for 
black judicial candidates. The Court has considered statistics 
produced by all three analyses, but has chosen to set forth here 
only the weighted regression analysis for illustrative purposes, 
given that all three analyses produced figures appearing 
relatively similar and weighted regression analysis appears to 
take more variables into consideration in most instances. See 
Weber, pp. 10-13, Engstrom Report, pp. 3-5.
