Mobile v. Bolden 446 U.S. 55 (1980) was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that electoral districts must be drawn without racially discriminatory intent to warrant constitutional protection. In Gomillion v. Lightfoot the court had held that creating electoral districts which disenfranchised blacks violated the Fifteenth Amendment but it did not as readily distinguish between effect and intent as it would in Mobile.
