.@DerrickNAACP, president of the @NAACP, tells me with SCOTUS continuing to rule in GOP's favor on redistricting, it will be up to voters to turn out and push back.

"This Supreme Court has given license to policymakers to say it’s OK for a white member of Congress to have a 65% white voting population in their district, but it’s not OK for an African American elected official to have a 55% or 60% district,” Johnson said.

“We are witnessing Southern legislators across the former Confederacy approach this racialized gerrymandering process in a way in which we thought we had gotten beyond." https://t.co/WTU116PhTd
