So if Blacks and other minorities are not "represented" in Congress going forward (Meaning there are few or no people who look like them in Congress, they shouldn't have to pay taxes. Right?
Republicans have been overrepresented in the House because urban Democratic districts tend to be more one-sidedly partisan than rural Repug districts, sometimes 4-1 or more, while R voters are somewhat more broadly distributed. This demographic tendency is amplified by deliberate packing - R legislatures drawing lines to concentrate D voters in lopsided districts, and cracking - to distribute D voters from purple districts into safe R districts. The Supremacist Court decision to make the VRA unenforceable gives R legislatures the opportunity to crack Black D districts, distributing Black D voters into white majority R districts.
What is the possibility that this could backfire, turning for example 55-45 R districts into 52-48 D districts in a wave or landslide election?
