The 9^th  U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the most reversed of court of all, has reversed itself. In January a three-judge panel of the court ruled that Washington state could not prohibit inmates from voting on the theory that the state's prohibition was a violation of the Voting Rights act since the inmate population is disproportionately minority. An eleven-judge panel reversed that decision on Thursday reasoning that  intentional discrimination had not been demonstrated and that a disparity in the prison population makeup is not sufficient to demonstrate discrimination.
