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.

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.

#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.

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.

“#SouthCarolina citizens are going to the polls today. And neither my conscience or common sense is going to let me stop an #election that is already underway,” #Republican state Sen. Richard Cash said.

If the case makes it to #SCOTUS, it will be the first major test of the high court’s new standard for challenging congressional maps. The lower court judges made clear that they had reviewed the arguments through the lens of the Supreme Court’s #VotingRightsAct ruling last month but maintained that the state’s map failed under the new standard by intentionally discriminating against #Black voters.
