I found the article quite enlightening. Author discusses those things - how they came about and what effect this ruling will have on them. Sorry you missed the substance and only found fluff....
I did answer you. I replied to your snark. The answers are all in the post you denigrated. If you didn't have time to read it, or didn't follow it, say that. Why insult the author?
Fourth —and possibly most significant of all— even though Louisiana v. Callais explicitly applies to congressional districts and the VRA’s Section 2, its logic could ripple throughout all other state and local offices, too. Section 2 doesn’t only apply to Congress. Anyplace where blue states have rigged the game using race as an excuse —city councilmen, county clerks, library board members, mosquito control board— will now be fair game for local lawfare challenging any racial scale-tipping.
That is copied/pasted from the article. You want to berate me for not handing you answers on a silver platter, yet they are in the article, plain as day. I grant you, author is very wordy, but he was thorough.
I read the opinion. The legislative body will use regular old political partisanship to rig districts as they see fit. As long as they don't rig them by race, the legislative body has sole and final say.
The Civil Rights dept of DOJ will actively go after areas that used race as the primary factor in drawing districts. Will affect single member districts, positions created solely for minorities, etc. It should greatly help lower ballot races and positions - think school boards, library boards, etc.
So, I found the article to be a little to full of fluff and references and it made it hard for me to fully understand what's happening.
Districts will now need to be drawn based on what? Regular shapes, or by city or county lines?
And how exactly was it saying it effected council seats and such? These positions were being filled based on race representation demographics?

That's very nice for you, too bad you found answering my question to be beyond your abilities even though you have the answer.

So it's just standing to sue if suspected of going by race?
