We all know that Reds use gerrymandering to counter Demographic Blueshift:

Fortunately, Demographic Blueshift can also counter gerrymandering:

AAPI voters are suing Texas for allegedly discriminatory gerrymandering

A coalition of AAPI voters is suing the state of Texas for allegedly suppressing the voting power of minorities through last year's redistricting.

Amatullah Contractor, who is among the group of plaintiffs filing a lawsuit against Governor Greg Abbott and Secretary of State John Scott, was recently redistricted from her diverse and liberal-leaning 7th district to the more rural and conservative 8th district when Texas legislators redrew the maps last year.

“"One of my main concerns with these maps is that they were drawn with almost predetermined outcomes," Contractor told Houston Public Media. "So going into the 2022 election, I already know who my representative is going to be immediately after the primary, just because of the way that it was drawn."

The rezoning of electoral districts has allegedly blocked AAPI representation on the congressional level by breaking up Fort Bend County, home of one of the largest groups of AAPI voters, and significantly hindering the election prospects of Sri Preston Kulkarni — an Asian American democratic candidate for Congressional District 22.

“Congressional District 22 was really the only chance we would have had to send an Asian American to Congress,” Nabila Mansoor, executive director of the progressive organization Rise AAPI, told Houston Public Media. “That has now been taken away.”

The plaintiffs’ legal team is composed of civil rights organizations, including Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), and attorneys from New York University's Brennan Center for Justice and the law firm of Paul, Weiss.

Jerry Mattamala, the director of the Democracy Program at AALDEF, called the conflation of minority Asian American communities with majority white rural populations “the most brazen, clear case of vote dilution," and attributed the practice to a 2013 Supreme Court precedent that struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.

Two-thirds of Asian voters backed Boudin’s recall in June, the highest level of all racial groups, according to a poll conducted by the San Francisco Standard in May.
...
Jenkins, who worked in the DA’s office for seven years as a prosecutor, resigned last October after criticizing what she saw as Boudin’s failure to prosecute serious crimes, and later became a leading supporter of his recall.
