mansion. justice breyer, to your question at the heart of this, we completely agree with the analysis and alabama that there needs to be -- you need to show voters in and out on account of these rules. 672,ou look at ja there is a 58% differential between the white louvers -- voters moved out in the black voters moved in. three quarters of the voters moved in her black -- were ba lack. >> i think i heard the defense say -- this is all being brought up after the case is over. >> it is in our expert report from trial. it is just not true. you can find it in the ja. it was in our expert's report at trial. point number one.
