• in reaching settlement on redistricting plan, all parties “played an instrumental role” and “received a significant amount of the relief that they prayed for” and, thus, “prevailed”
• no special circumstances render fee award “inequitable” and, further, “it would be absurd to suggest that this suit, involving important constitutional rights, is not the type of case where an award would further congressional aims”
