The Role of Robinson in SB8

  • ⚖️ The state admitted that it felt compelled to draw a second majority-minority district due to the Robinson case to avoid a trial.
  • 📌 This admission indicates that race predominated in the decision to pass the second majority-minority district.

Defining Predominant Use of Race

  • 🎯 When asked what "race predominated" means, the response refers to the standard from Cooper.
  • 📍 Practically, the state identified the strongest remaining area of minority population in East Baton Rouge.
  • 🗺️ They then sought contiguous areas with enough minority voters to form a second majority-minority district, making race the predominant factor in drawing the lines.
