These rulings finally bring the electorate into alignment with statewide racial demographics. Black people in states with large minority populations have been underrepresented for far too long — especially in southern states. It's time for congressional maps to represent racial reality.
SCOTUS is setting a dangerous precedent by allowing Democrat-appointed federal judges to override the constitutional authority of state legislatures to draw district maps. This continues a trend of states being kneecapped by unelected judges to the point where they can no longer decide how their states are governed or how their elections are run.
