We might as well start hiving out separate ballots based on race. Apparently one can only be represented by someone who looks like him or her.
I know you're being sarcastic, but it's important to remember that the current interpretation of VRA districts has absolutely nothing to say about the race of the person elected, only if that person is the candidate of the community's choice.
Corrected:
"I know you're being sarcastic, but it's important to remember that the current interpretation of VRA districts has absolutely nothing to say about the race of the person elected, only if that person is that race's choice."
Since when did the Constitution allow the government to decide which races, in what places, shall dictate the results of an election?
Amendment XV, Section 2
Section allows Congress to enforce section #1, which reads
Sorry, the Fifteenth Amendment enshrines the right of citizens to vote in elections, not a right to win. The candidate of choice of the majority of voters is the candidate elected per the Constitution.
Oh, I'm not disputing that. I'm just pointing out the source of court precedent on the VRA's constitutionality.
