Hello! You\u2019ve probably been seeing all our wafer-thin shadow-docket rulings with long dissents attached and saying, Well, after reading this, I know why these rulings are <\/i>wrong, but why are they <\/i>right?<\/i> That\u2019s fair. As a little treat, because we are feeling generous, we will explain our thinking on the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais<\/i>!<\/p>\n

How do I know if a state congressional map is drawn correctly?<\/b><\/p>\n

A congressional district should look unlike any shape you\u2019ve ever seen on Earth. Some kind of strange lizard, but a lizard undergoing a painful transformation into something Other. It should look like the mouth of a creature opening up to devour you. It should look like it\u2019s giving you the finger. And, most important, the district should be red all over. That\u2019s the color a map turns when it\u2019s healthy.<\/p>\n

If there are any blue patches, blue stripes, or even little blue dots, that\u2019s a sign your map is sick. You must work quickly to rectify that until the whole map turns a nice, healthy red\u2014or, failing that, mostly red with just one safely contained blue area. It\u2019s what the Founders would have wanted. Especially Elbridge Gerry.<\/p>\n

How can I tell if my election is fair?<\/b><\/p>\n

What\u2019s fair? Fair is when your wife, Ginni, looks at the outcome of the election and it makes her happy. If you look at your polling results and you think, Gee, this won\u2019t please Ginni<\/i>, then you need to do something different to your map!<\/p>\n

Remember, the will of the voters is to elect a Republican. We can say that objectively as nonpartisan jurists! All districts should be constituted so that you are given every possible chance to be represented by a Republican. Knowing he has a nice, healthy cushion will encourage that Republican to try things he might otherwise not feel comfortable doing, like shooting a dog just to feel something, or skipping every vote to focus on doing more things with his stocks.<\/p>\n

Okay, but what about the Voting Rights Act?<\/b><\/p>\n

Thank goodness we have gotten rid of that unconstitutional nightmare! It\u2019s ridiculous to suggest that some people might be treated differently\u2014protected by law to make certain their voices can be heard at the polls, say\u2014simply because of the color of their skin. That\u2019s racist! No. We\u2019re implementing Dr. King\u2019s dream, a dream where everyone, Black and white, old and young, male and (as long as the Nineteenth Amendment holds) female, gets to vote for Republicans together.<\/p>\n

What about if it\u2019s really close to an election and changing the map would cause chaos? You know, the Purcell principle?<\/b><\/p>\n

Good point! If voters don\u2019t know what the rules of the election are, or if candidates don\u2019t know where to campaign, or if election officials don\u2019t have time to update the rolls, this can disenfranchise people and alter the outcome of the election! We want to avoid this, unless we feel at least 98 percent sure it would result in a Republican victory.<\/p>\n

What about Alabama, though? That lower court had me fully convinced that this map was unconstitutionally discriminatory, under the Fourteenth Amendment.<\/b><\/p>\n

We understand your confusion! To clarify: The only \u201cunconstitutional discrimination\u201d is discrimination against white people.<\/i><\/p>\n
