The Honorable John R. Tunheim, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
as Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 1973-1973p); 42 U.S.C. § 1983;
and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Having reviewed the record and the parties' submissions de novo, Lerohl v. Friends
of Minn. Sinfonia, 322 F.3d F.3d 486, 488 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude an extensive
discussion is not warranted. The district court has provided a comprehensive and
well-reasoned opinion addressing the issues raised by the parties, and we have
nothing to add to the analysis. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district
court for the reason's stated in its memorandum opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
