Top court rules 1998 voting disparity constitutional

TOKYO, Japan - Photo shows a session of Japan's Supreme Court on Sept. 6, when it handed down a ruling saying that a nearly 5 to 1 disparity rate in a 1998 House of Councillors election was constitutional. The top court rejected a lawsuit filed by voters demanding nullification of the results of the election over the disparity. The disparity means that one vote in the least-populated district was worth nearly five votes in the most heavily populated one.
