The Court stated that complying with the Voting Rights Act (VRA) might serve as a compelling reason to create two majority-Black districts, but the legislature failed to demonstrate that it had good cause to think that it would transgress the Act if it did not draw those race-based districts. For example, there no evidence of “racial bloc voting” by whites that would prevent Black voters from electing the candidate of their choice.

16.	Alito is disingenuous at best in his language about requiring proof of “intentional discrimination.” His opinion says it must be the “focus” of the evidence; there must be a “strong inference that intentional discrimination occurred;” and plaintiffs must “show an objective likelihood of intentional discrimination.” must present current data “that shed light on current intentional discrimination;” and must prove “an objective likelihood that the State’s challenged map was the result of intentional racial discrimination.” Also, his guidelines for proving racial discrimination turn out to be demands for proof of intentional discrimination. But Alito demurs that these requirements are not really requirements for “a finding of intentional discrimination” under §2. (See Callais, 608 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 23,31,34-35).

20.	Alito’s opinion says §2 plaintiffs must “disentangle” race from the assumed partisan choices to win their case, but the only proven way to unravel the two under Alito’s presumptions will be for plaintiffs to produce evidence that white voters are motivated only by a discriminatory intent – proof that is virtually impossible to demonstrate in this day and age.

25.	Some voting rights scholars have been sympathetic to the Court’s insistence that party and race need to be disentangled for §2 cases. See, for example, Richard L. Hasen, “Race or Party, Race as Party, or Party All the Time: Three Uneasy Approaches To Conjoined Polarization In Redistricting and Voting Cases,” Willian and Mary Law Review, Vol. 59, 2017, 1837-1885. But the Court majority misunderstands the social construction and nature of race and racism, as if race is only a reflection of person’s skin color disentangled from who they are, their collective history in a given place, what they represent, what they believe and who they support.
26.	The social science methods for disentangling race to determine that it is a singular motive entirely separate from party where the two correlate in voting in a state or Congressional district (with over 500,000 people nowadays) present problems that have not yet been tackled and probably never will be to the satisfaction of the current Court. They are far greater than the challenges that Morgan Kousser explored earlier in how judges and researchers assemble the “factors that ought to be taken into account in any inquiry into the intent with which an electoral rule was adopted or maintained.” See Morgan Kousser, “Intent and Effect in Law and History,” Colorblind Injustice: Minority Voting Rights and the Undoing of the Second Reconstruction (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1999), 346-366.
