    The Supreme Court has ruled that partisan gerrymandering is legal (which is a fucking disgrace), so it's only illegal if they can show the gerrymandering is specifically racial in nature. I imagine that makes proving illegal gerrymandering a hell of a lot harder.

      At the same time, you can show the changes in population in a district, and do a mathematic comparison of how much say they previously had vs now.

      But that is still harder, yeah.
