From the supplier: African Americans and Republicans benefited from district gerrymandering, which was an offshoot of the amended Voting Rights Act. White Democrats, on the other hand, were the sole losers. Gerrymandering enabled majority minority districts to increase in number. However, Republicans appear to be gaining more from redistricting than African Americans. They can can expect greater success as southern Democrats representing districts composed of less than 25% African Americans retire.
