    I can’t be the only one confused looking at NC vs LA and GA. SCOTUS told Louisiana to comply with their order and just slapped down Georgia. The specific context and history behind the maps for North Carolina mean it hasn’t had the exact same scrutiny.

    But by the exact same principle – partisan gerrymandering is diluting the black population in each district. This seems just a lawsuit away from going the same way as Louisiana and Georgia, but that doesn’t seem to be the narrative here. I’m clearly missing something, what is it?
