I suppose it could take the view that existing 50%+ maj-min seats (like #AL07) mustn't be retrogressed but there's no right to new ones - but that would effectively lock in nonwhite underrepresentation regardless of changing electoral/demographic realities. — PolitiTweet.org

If the Supreme Court finds a second Black majority district in AL doesn't satisfy the "Gingles Test" in a Section 2 VRA claim, even though it would be just as compact as the current AL map, it's difficult to see what standards it would set for maj-min seats at all. — PolitiTweet.org

It was only a decade ago that the Obama DOJ granted Section 5 preclearance to a 6R-1D AL map that packed Black voters into #AL07. But there's no more straightforward Section 2 claim: Black voters are sufficiently large/cohesive/compact, and high racially polarized voting. — PolitiTweet.org
