Its not that simple. Red States will respond by shoving essentially every Black voter into one or two Black Majority districts. Since Blacks vote almost monolithically for Democrats, this then gives them one or two districts but makes a lot of other districts uncompetitive....ie ensuring Republicans in those other districts.

Carving out these districts does not magically create more Democrat voters. It just concentrates them more.

Shoving black voters into a single electoral district, in order to be sure to elect black candidates, will ensure the state's electoral votes go Republican.

You are naive. This ruling is caving to the left, virtually negating the effect of Trump selecting justices. These picks were duds.
Hillary Marxists lost the battle, but won the war. These hacks in black have become useless enemies of America.

That depends on how they carve them up. We have seen majority Republican districts softened up and turned by added solid Democrat residents from adjacent districts which are already confirmed Democrat and can afford to spare a few voters.

The Democrats plan these things in great detail. It's a chess game. The Republicans haven't got a clue. They just do what the Democrat-controlled courts tell them to do. And lose elections.

Then they go out and beg for more campaign contributions to "take back the government". It all goes into the pockets of consultants, vendors, and other grifters. Nothing changes. Nothing is supposed to change.

It’s absolutely simple.

Alabama is currently 6 GOP 1 DEM. The Supremes have ruled to make that 5 GOP 2 DEM.

Louisiana is currently 5 GOP 1 DEM. The Supremes have ruled to make that 4 GOP 2 DEM.

It will justify the 4AM ballot-dumps in those 2 districts to put the D-party over the top.
Once that over-flowing toilet problem gets fixed...

Yup.

And, of course, the screams that Republicans are limiting the number of black congresscritters by putting all the black voters into two congressional districts begins.

The losers here will be white Democrats.
