Louisiana v. Callais · ¶82

When the vast majority of voters, regardless of race, favors the same political party, a map that is disadvantageous for members of one racial group cannot be explained on the ground that it was drawn to favor a particular political party. But in a State where both parties have substantial support and where race is often correlated with party preference, a litigant can easily exploit § 2 for partisan purposes by “repackag[ing] a partisan-gerrymandering claim as a racial- gerrymandering claim.” Alexander, 602 U. S., at 21.
