That was the case before this case, and republicans went out of their way to vocalize the idea that they were disenfranchising democrats, and not black people, it just so happened to be that those two things lined up. Which was just obvious legalese bullshit so they could disenfranchise black people, and everyone knew it.

Which is why my current understanding of this ruling is so pessimistic as it looks like after shouting at the top of their lungs “We are purposefully disenfranchising democrats!!” The supreme court has ruled that there’s no way to tell whether they were purposefully disenfranchising democrats. If that’s the case, then it really sounds like the supreme court saying they are just there to rubber stamp republican actions.
