Gerrymandering Causes Chaos
The USSC decision in Louisiana v. Callais essentially approves using political party preference as the determinant for shaping voting districts regardless of its impact on any other criterion. In reality. there are many ways to slice up the totality of voters. These include geography, economic activity, religious adherence, educational level, country of origin, amount of wealth, size of taxes paid, etc., as well as race
However, the U.S. Constitution states that all citizens are to be given equal representation in the government of our liberal democracy. In particular, the Voting Rights Act, which was confirmed by the USSC, reinforced the applicability of race to conformance with the Constitution’s requirements. Therefore, rather than clarifying the features of the VRA, this new opinion actually vitiates the plain intent of the Congress to emphasize the centrality of racial non-discrimination to its validity. The court seems to want more chaos in allocating political strength.
