Fair use rationale for File:ChsCountySeal.gif
File:ChsCountySeal.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Voting Rights Act case
I've added much content about the 2001 voting rights lawsuit by the US Dept. of Justice, which was settled in 2004 by the county establishing a nine-member county commission, elected from single-member districts. The previous system of at-large voting was found to have so diluted the votes of the substantial African-American minority in the county that for 30 years, they were hardly able to elect any candidates of their choice to the commission. For people who are interested in such cases, Tennessee had similar lawsuits brought by activists in several of its largest cities, where at-large voting for a limited number of city commissioners had excluded significant minorities from being able to elect candidates of their choice. These cities now have larger representative bodies elected from single-member districts, which has resulted in more women and minorities being elected to office.Parkwells (talk) 15:07, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
