Rogers v. Lodge, 458 U.S. 613 (1982), was an opinion of the United States Supreme Court which held an at-large election system for large rural county with large black population to be violative of equal protection clause.

The court affirmed and held that the system of elections violated the African-American citizens' Fourteenth Amendment rights because it diluted their voting power and that the system was maintained for invidious purposes. The court affirmed the decision of the lower court, which determined that the county's at-large system of elections violated the constitutional rights of its African-American citizens. The court held that the system of elections diluted appellees' voting power and excluded them from the election process.
