Today at SCOTUS, the @CivilRights told the Justices that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act cannot constitutionally require race-predominant districting!

The statement addresses the practical considerations of districting based on population rather than county lines, in response to a discussion about gerrymandering and the Supreme Court's role in determining its constitutionality. It provides factual information about how districts are drawn to ensure equal population representation, which is relevant to the broader public discourse on voting rights and districting.

    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages constructively with a question, providing a factual response without personal attacks. [+1]
