Cooper v. Harris (2017) is a Supreme Court case which struck down racially gerrymandered districts.[1]
Liberals, including those in the Supreme Court, supported race-based gerrymandering from a constitutional perspective during and in the years after the Civil Rights movement because it would lead to the highest rates of minority elected officials, but they changed their position (again from a constitutional standpoint) after it became clear they could gain more seats through having courts strike down race-based gerrymandering.[2]
