Vinson himself was undecided after it was first heard, but died before the rehearing was held. Vinson himself said: "I am not sure what we should do here today". I know Stanley Reed almost voted to uphold school segregation, but Earl Warren convinced Reed at the last minute. What would the outcome have been if Vinson hadn't died?

I guess Warren probably would have been able to convince Vinson too?

Warren wouldn’t have been appointed yet. Felix Frankfurter believed that Vinson’s death changed the game
