ALERT: Supreme Court Just Ruled GOP Election Tactics Racist & Unconstitutional

Expect a lot of GOP strongholds to flip Democrat in 2018 & 2020.



GOP racist district gerrymandering that increases the impact of white votes found unconstitutional today.

This is how the GOP won so many districts where the majority vote was Democrat but the "winner" was Repubkucan through racist redistricting via gerrymandering.

Supreme Court Throws Out GOP-Drawn Congressional Districts As Unconstitutional

?The Constitution entrusts States with the job of designing congressional districts,? wrote Justice Elena Kagan in the 5-to-3 decision. ?But it also imposes an important constraint: A State may not use race as the predominant factor in drawing district lines unless it has a compelling reason.?

In a long-awaited decision, the Supreme Court agreed on Monday with a lower court ruling that found that Republican lawmakers in North Carolina drew two congressional districts with improper racial considerations in mind.

The ruling is the latest attempt by the justices to clarify the standard for what counts as unconstitutional racial gerrymandering ? the push by lawmakers, especially in the South, to draw district lines based on the racial demographics of a specific area.
