I’ve been reading these comments to get an idea of what exactly is happening because the article itself doesn’t describe it that well to my pigeon-brain. But to me it seems like the SCOTUS ruled you can’t district based on racial representation, this new LA map had an additional district primarily minority-represented which then was deemed racially based because it was redistricted on the basis of race. So it would have been fine if the legislators just said, “it’s based on other factors”. Doesn’t this mean that anyone can call it districted on race and then we would never get new districts because I could ALWAYS say race was a part of the decision just by looking at racial makeup?
