  6. The suggestion that partisan #gerrymandering has nothing to do with race is fantastical. It ignores the defining role of #race & #racism in shaping partisan affiliation in the #US. For instance, the embrace of the #CivilRights movement by the national #DemocraticParty is, acc/to many historians, the main reason so many white Southerners became #Republicans in the second part of the 20th century, a phenomenon known as realignment.

  11. Over the course of several months, #SCOTUS has had a hand in congressional maps in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Virginia & California. Most of those decisions have benefited the #Republican Party.

    The Alabama case is also the latest “emergency” order tied to the court’s April decision on the #VotingRightsAct, in which a 6-3 majority gutted the ability of groups to bring claims of racial #discrimination under that 1965 landmark #law.

  16. #SCOTUS dealt with the case in an unsigned order [cowards] over the dissent of the 3 liberal justices.

    The order on the court’s #EmergencyDocket is the latest instance of the justices dipping into the nationwide flurry of mid-decade #redistricting instigated by #Trump’s desire for the #GOP to retain control [steal #elections] of the #House in this November’s midterms.

  26. The political drama in #SouthCarolina is part of a #Republican strategy—propelled by #Trump — to redraw voting districts to the #GOP’s advantage in an attempt to hold on to a slim #House majority in the #midterms. #Republicans have been moving quickly to try to leverage a recent #SCOTUS ruling that weakened minority protections under the federal #VotingRightsAct.
