FALSE

Extensive evidence from legal rulings and historical analysis directly contradicts the claim. In April 2026, the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana congressional map that was challenged as racial gerrymandering 1. Research indicates that redistricting schemes are frequently used to sort and pack Black voters to dilute their political influence 12 15. Specific efforts in North Carolina have been identified as attempts to disenfranchise Black voters by eliminating competitive districts 8. Experts note that partisan and racial gerrymandering limit voting rights and are deeply intertwined with broader patterns of voter suppression 2 6 7. The 2021 redistricting cycle was notably conducted without full Voting Rights Act protections, leading to further concerns regarding the dilution of minority preferences 10 16. Studies on state legislative elections also confirm that such map manipulation impacts voter participation among minority groups 5 13.
