[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 77269785, member: 9588"] From what I'm reading, the Court doesn't explicitly say that. Instead, I believe the contention is that a "straight" redistricting -- not creating the weird lines between districts and just making them simple geometric shapes (such as a rectangle) results in at least one Black majority district. What the court found was that the way they redistricted, which appeared to be done to prevent any Black-majority districts, was not legal. It is more an implication that any "normal" redistricting -- one not done to specifically "dilute" the power of minority voters -- will result in at least one district that has a Black majority.
