...Judge Joseph H. Young of Maryland. Ruling two weeks ago on a Voting Rights Act suit against Worcester County, Maryland, Young bade it change -- not by adding a black-majority enclave, but by adopting one of Guinier's reviled alternatives, cumulative voting. Meanwhile, the New York Times had published a speculative plan drafted by the Washington-based Center for Voting and Democracy explaining how North Carolina could erase its troublesome 12th * in favor of the same system.
