Top Court Rules 2013 Upper House Election 'State of Unconstitutionality'

TOKYO, JAPAN - NOVEMBER 26: Lawyer Hidetoshi Masunaga (2nd R) speaks during a press conference on November 26, 2014 in Tokyo, Japan. The top court's grand bench, with Chief Justice Itsuro Terada presiding, described the July 2013 Upper House election as having been conducted under "extremely unfair conditions," but stopped short of declaring the results unconstitutional. The maximum disparity in the weight of votes for the 2013 Upper House election was 4.77:1. This means one vote in Japan's most heavily populated electoral zone, Hokkaido, was worth 0.21 vote in the least populated district, Tottori Prefecture. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
