I did read it and found nothing in it that describes how to know the citizenship of a person who doesn't identify himself.Yes, the Republican party does quite a bit of gerrymandering to stay in power. Gotta keep those black voters in line in Alabam and Mississip. Not that every now and then the Dems do it, but you would think the Republicans would know how to do it without triggering redrawing orders.
"As of July 7, 2023, a total of 74 cases have been filed challenging congressional and legislative maps in 27 states as racially discriminatory and/or partisan gerrymanders, of which 45 remain pending at either the trial or appellate levels.
To date, litigation has resulted in redrawn legislative and/or congressional maps in Alaska, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina, though the North Carolina Supreme Court has since vacated its anti-partisan gerrymandering rulings and both congressional and legislative maps there are expected to be redrawn by this fall to recreate gerrymanders.
In addition, congressional maps are expected to be redrawn in time for the 2024 election in Alabama and Louisiana after federal courts found that the maps adopted by the states’ legislatures violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (though an appeal is ongoing with respect to the Louisiana map). A federal court has also ordered South Carolina to redraw its congressional map after finding that the configuration of one district was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. However, the deadline for adopting a new map is not until 30 days after the Supreme Court adjudicates an ongoing appeal of the case. Because a decision in the South Carolina appeal may not come until the summer of 2024, it is unclear whether it will be possible to implement a new map for the 2024 election cycle."
