HALLEY, Justice
(dissenting).
The views expressed by me in my dissent in Romang v. Cordell, 206 Okl. 369, 243 P.2d 677, hold in the case at bar. Instead of eighteen counties being given representation in excess of that allowed by the Constitution, twenty-six counties are in that category by the 1961 Act of reapportionment. We should say that the action by the Legislature is not only unconstitutional but the State Election Board *140should be prohibited from receiving- applications for filing for the House of Representatives from the twenty-six counties that have been given excessive voting strength. From the failure of this Court to so provide I dissent.
