The logic of the racist Supreme Court isn't adding up

"The Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais took down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, clearing the way for racist gerrymandering, because it is now racist to remedy racism."

"The state of Louisiana, which is around 30 percent Black, has six districts. The voting districts are drawn so that there are two majority-Black districts. Because SCOTUS has ruled this map unconstitutional, the state of Louisiana will almost certainly redraw the maps so there is only one majority-Black district."

"A statewide population of 30 percent will now have their voting preferences reflected in 17 percent of the state's districts, which is a significant misrepresentation."

The Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais dismantles Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, enabling racist gerrymandering. Louisiana's population is 30% Black, yet the ruling will likely reduce majority-Black districts from two to one, misrepresenting Black voters' preferences. This decision contradicts the historical intent of the Voting Rights Act and the mathematical representation of racial demographics in voting districts. The ruling reflects a broader trend of undermining voting rights and fails to acknowledge the complexities of voting beyond race.
