Not a lot of justices have written from that sitting (in part because there were very few cases argued) — Roberts doesn't have it because he took Arthrex, but it could be Breyer, Kagan, Alito, Thomas or Kavanaugh. I think Kagan may have it.

It probably isn’t Gorsuch, Barrett, or Kagan.
It probably isn't Gorsuch or Barrett because Gorsuch wrote in Garland v. Dai and Barrett wrote in Florida v. Georgia. I don't see why you would rule out Kagan.

Shockingly, the Supreme Court decided not to strike down the VRA. They also don't say anything about vote dilution claims, or redistricting more broadly, writing that "this case has nothing to do with redistricting, what are you talking about." Brnovich v. DNC, slip op. at 8 (July 1, 2021).
