To prove racial gerrymandering, a plaintiff has to draw race-blind districts that are just as favorable to Republicans. But that's impossible to do because Republicans uniformly select racists as their candidates and Black voters won't vote for racists. So racial gerrymandering is always allowed.
Callais updated these standards. As relevant here, weheld that for plaintiffs to satisfy the first Gingles precondi-tion, a plaintiff ’s alternative map “must meet all the State’slegitimate districting objectives” “just as well” as the State’sown map. 608 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 29) (emphasisadded). Those legitimate districting objectives, we held, in-clude “the State’s specified political goals” and “any othergoal not prohibited by the Constitution.” Ibid. A plaintiffalso “cannot use race as a districting criterion” in preparingthe alternative map.
