#1 Who needs Biden's 'Federal Election Voting Rights' legislation when Federal Judges can decide States issues ?

IF the ultimate goal is a colorless, homogeneous society?

Then why are we are always dividing up voting districts based on COLOR percentages? Isn't it enough we are already dividing based on Political views. But now the Democrats get an extra voting filter to also play a False Race Card votes?

#3 I thought SCOTUS just said the feds should butt out?

#4 we need a constitutional convention to set country-wide voting regulations. Districts based solely on population. voting in person with utility receipt.
I would like to see discussed a national registry which contains a voters age, gender (look in your trouisers!), county, state. Which would be queried by county registrars to determine eligibility.

#6 Yes. Drop a grid on the state. From each cross hatch, move out until population = enough for a district. Strictly mathematical, no political or court jiggering.

#7 If a given urban area is carved up into multiple districts, all the better.

#10 Have these three judges considered that the rest of us are enjoying (sarc) taxation without representation as well. Can we ask: Does Maxene Waters represent anyone other than herself and her family. Who are these three judges and how did they arrive at this cockamie, racist decision. Who appointed them? Do they happen to be black and Dems? Congressional maps are about the census and party and not race. This decision should be appealed.

You owe Justice Thomas an apology. Closest thing we still have as a Constitutionist still on the bench.

#13 Re #6: It's not that simple. There are many ways to draw the lines, and many rules to follow to determine where the boundary lines have to be.

Some math about it (http://www.ams.org/publicoutreach/feature-column/fc-2014-08)
