as Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 1973-1973p); 42 U.S.C. § 1983;

and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

Having reviewed the record and the parties' submissions de novo, Lerohl v. Friends

of Minn. Sinfonia, 322 F.3d F.3d 486, 488 (8th Cir. 2003), we conclude an extensive

discussion is not warranted. The district court has provided a comprehensive and

well-reasoned opinion addressing the issues raised by the parties, and we have

nothing to add to the analysis. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district

court for the reason's stated in its memorandum opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
