Much of this disparate treatment is a product of courts' and Congress's failure to articulate how lines *should* be drawn fairly. In the past, SCOTUS has said coalition districts (<50% of a single minority) *may* be drawn, but has declined to compel their creation. — PolitiTweet.org

In CA, the commission pretty much drew more Latino majority districts as its first priority. In NC, Republicans claimed they drew race-blind maps but effectively diluted a historically Black seat, #NC01, from 44% to 41% (though there's a strong chance it's overturned in court). — PolitiTweet.org

In practice, this has created an absolute mess, where the value of non-white votes varies wildly from state to state, w/ the biggest variable being which party happens to control the state. The disparities will continue to widen until SCOTUS/Congress steps in to act (end). — PolitiTweet.org
