• upholding the State Board of Apportionment's post 1990 census plan (for the 1992 elections and thereafter) over the objections of the plaintiffs
• plaintiffs’ plan was inconsistent with “spirit of Shaw,” and first Gingles precondition was therefore not satisfied, where proposed districts “cut across numerous communities and political boundaries”
• peculiar shape of district, including extension of “a series of long, slender fingers,” while “nowhere nearly so unusual in shape as the ... district at issue in Shaw,” was one basis on which district was found not to be compact
