The Colorado Independent: Mountain States Legal Fdn battling Native American voting rights

"Fremont County, Wyoming is home to the sprawling Wind River Indian Reservation, home to about 7500 Native Americans out of a total county population of less than 40,000 people. Until recently no Indian had ever been elected to the county’s five-person board of commissioners.
How could that be? Simple–all five seats were at-large ensuring a white majority of voters in each election.
One Indian was finally elected under that system in 2006. Just before Keja Whiteman was elected, five individual Indians filed suit to force the county to create five individual geographic districts, with one of them centered on the reservation.
The county could have just agreed to do it, but instead fought the suit, bringing in Lakewood’s Mountain States Legal Foundation as counsel for the county.
According to The Washington Post, MSLF, a non-profit public interest law firm, is representing the county at no cost.
Why? We called the MSLF and were told attorney J. Scott Detamore, who is handling the case, would call back. So far, he hasn’t."

All voters within a district should be reasonably represented, without discrimination.
