In her dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justices #KetanjiBrownJackson & Elena #Kagan, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for using one set of rules to uphold #redistricting maps that benefit #white voters & #Republicans in states like #Texas while using a completely different set of rules to strike down maps that benefit racial “minorities” & #Democrats in places like #NewYork.

The court’s ruling sets a disturbing #precedent for #VotingRights in several ways. Federal courts are supposed to defer to #state courts on matters of state #law. And #SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that courts should not change election laws in the middle of an #election season, & in this instance the filing deadline for candidates in #NewYork has already passed.
