Bishop's district was one of two new majority African-American congressional districts which had been created after congressional apportionment following the 1990 Census. In 1995, a 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court ruled that this redistricting violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. However, in 1998, Bishop was able to win reelection in the newly redrawn district, which was now 60 percent white. In 2000, he was reelected to a fifth term, narrowly defeating a high-profile challenge from young African-American Republican Dylan Glenn, who received strong backing from many national Republican leaders.
