but I remember previously to that -when they got rid of the pre-clearence rules re map redrawing that applied to certain States. Not good!

Now they won't allow this redrawn 2nd Minority Majority district in Louisiana?

[case brought by "Non-African Americans" (in explaination)- oh, gimme a break; white people most likely!]

My underline

"The Court held that race-conscious remedies, such as creating a majority-minority district to correct vote dilution, violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution abcnews.com"


My [ ]s
If there's no way African-Americans can get "equal protection" for voting then; "creating a [extra] majority-minority district to correct vote dilution" is needed.

Arg! Effing 6-3 SC decision.
Having to climb back up the more potential voting discrimination hill.
