Reynolds v. Sims, the United States Supreme Court case requiring equal population in US election districts
Ratio variances as great as 14 to 1 from one senatorial district to another existed in the Alabama Senate (i.e., the number of eligible voters voting for one senator was in one case 14 times the number of voters in another).
That advantage was lost completely to rural parishes in 1972, when both legislative chambers came into full compliance with the United States Supreme Court decision Reynolds v. Sims, which requires that each state legislative district be nearly equal in population.
