What did the Supreme Court justices declare in Miller v. Johnson (1995)?

In Miller v. Johnson (1995), the Supreme Court ruled that the redistricting process in Georgia had improperly used race as the predominant factor in drawing congressional district lines, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court held that while race can be a consideration in redistricting, it cannot be the sole or primary factor. This decision emphasized the need for a balance between ensuring minority representation and avoiding racial gerrymandering. Ultimately, it set a precedent for evaluating the legality of racially motivated redistricting efforts.
