Abstract

The article challenges the U.S. to reevaluate the fundamental right to vote against racial targeting and urges the U.S. Supreme Court to reject the belief that race should be justified as a factor in legislative gerrymandering because it is too sensitive a factor to be considered when gerrymandering.
