Good question. Also, I note that it is precisely because of the VRA that Dems have a major disadvantage when it comes to redistricting. The requirement for minority majority districts ensures that key Dem voters are scrambled into non-competitive districts, when they could otherwise be more spread out into other Red districts to make them more competitive.
Wouldn't that be an argument in favor of amending the Voting Rights Act?
