The opinion

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 *140 should 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.
