@tc_morekindness but the extract overlooks the core notion of districting being geographic, so that argument misses the mark.

If it was purely a matter of dem and rep votes being counted equally then they'd need to stop districting altogether and move to more of a parliamentary election system. But since they're retaining the geographically based districting, that's not what they're implementing.

You also mention proportionately representing the view of Black voters, but that too conflicts with counting dem and rep votes equally. You can't put your finger on the scale AND want the scale balanced.

So your argument seems to keep going back to being dissatisfied with the wrong team winning, which defeats the purpose of holding democratic elections in the first place.

If this really is the previous court's argument, then the previous court was obviously wrong.
