68.8% Black on 2020 numbers might be too high for current VRA jurispence. Even with black flight from Detroit, and likely white population growth in the city, that might still work out to be 62% or so, still too high in 2030 (and too close to being a maximum-majority pack).
My solution to this was placing in lily-white Dearborn, but in 2030 this would probably guarantee a Tliab vs Thanedar primary.
Exchanged the Black downriver municipalities for parts of Livonia, now it's at 66.9%. Might be sub 60% by the time of the 2030 census. I don't think the Supreme Court will be that picky any time soon, given the weakening of the VRA. I guess we'll see the Alabama decision, but if that's upheld this would be as well.
Ah, that's an improvement.
Yeah, I guess we'll see.
