Looke at it this way; LEGALLY, the SCOTUS has declared racially drawn districts to be unconstitutional, meaning illegal.
The government has no right to delay correction just because a vote is soon. Illegal is illegal.
I think the Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana case that ruled racial gerrymandering being unconstitutional contributed to the latest states engaged in redistricting in certain states late in the game.
