Allen v. Milligan
599 U.S. ___ (2023)
Section 2 claims remain justiciable; the Gingles preconditions apply and require that the minority group is sufficiently large and geographically compact to constitute a majority in a single-member district, is politically cohesive, and the majority votes sufficiently as a bloc to defeat minority-preferred candidates.
Moore v. Harper
600 U.S. ___ (2023)
The word 'Legislature' in the Elections Clause refers to the state's lawmaking process, which is defined and constrained by the state constitution. When the Constitution vests authority in a state 'Legislature,' it incorporates the standard state lawmaking procedures, including gubernatorial veto (where provided) and judicial review. The clause does not grant state legislatures a superpower to override state constitutional provisions. State court judgments about state law are ordinarily binding on federal courts, except in narrow circumstances where they violate federal constitutional guarantees (e.g., due process).
Moore v. Harper
600 U.S. ___ (2023)
The Elections Clause does not grant state legislatures exclusive and independent authority over federal elections; state courts retain their ordinary role in interpreting state law, subject to federal judicial review for compliance with federal constitutional limits.

Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee
594 U.S. ___ (2021)
A facially neutral voting rule that disproportionately affects minority voters does not violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act unless it imposes a 'substantial' and 'material' obstacle to voting. Courts must examine the totality of circumstances, including the simply non-racial justification for the rule, the size of the burden, and the extent of any disparity. Minor disparities in impact are insufficient when the state has a strong, non-discriminatory justification.

Rucho v. Common Cause
588 U.S. ___ (2019)
The Constitution does not authorize federal courts to adjudicate partisan gerrymandering claims; such disputes are committed to the political branches. Courts lack a neutral baseline to measure 'too much' partisanship, and the Framers intended the political process to resolve such issues.
