Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, Docket No. 22-807

The Supreme Court reversed in part and remanded in part a lower court ruling that found South Carolina's Congressional District 1 to be an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The majority held that the district court's finding that race predominated in the design of District 1 was clearly erroneous, and that the plaintiffs failed to meet their burden of showing the legislature subordinated traditional redistricting principles to racial considerations. The Court also found error in the district court's analysis of the plaintiffs' vote dilution claim and remanded that issue. Read the details of this case at https://9robes.ai
