Ridiculous. Anyone who follows the changing state of federal oversight of voting rights and the Supreme Court's latest precedent knows this is part of the process. The Democrats are, in fact, far worse about defining "coalition districts," which is another way of carving up Black census blocks to insure the election of white Democrats.

The Court says a "minority majority" district is 50 percent plus one. That means you have to go looking for them, you have to find them contiguously, as well. Either way the process requires the exchange of knowledge inherently racist, in my opinion, but that's the law.

And the right of the legislature to decide it's district lines after a census is pretty well established.

This is all just poisoning the jury pool, in hope the court will change its mind, again, by the time the case makes its way to the Supremes, or the that the Court changes.

The Democrats can count on the ignorance of the press. I've yet to read a single article about redistricting that was not, in some way, incorrect in some way. You can always count on the press to be ignorant or lazy.
