What about section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voting rights? Would you throw it away?https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/879390283858948096 …

I don't know what that would mean in practice compared to tossing it entirely.

§2 isn't limiting minority opportunities; it's the conservative SCOTUS' view of the law. Many states could draw additional minority seatspic.twitter.com/qWvoG5PNzP

Don't get me wrong, though. As long as redistricting is in the hands of partisans, Section 2 is needed. What I support is ending both.

I can see both sides of this argument, the biggest question for me would be is there still vestigial discrimination in geographical demos.
