Wagner (SD) school district adopts cumulative voting

The Wagner, South Dakota, school district has settled a vote dilution suit by agreeing to switch to cumulative voting. The suit, brought by the ACLU on behalf of American Indians, charged that the at-large system kept Indians (42% of the local population) from winning any seats on the 7-member board.
