The discussion further delves into the concept of racial voting blocks, a controversial strategy where electoral districts are configured to ensure certain racial groups vote together to protect their interests. Critics say this effectively creates a racial "electoral college," assigning voting power based on ethnicity or race—a practice viewed by some as divisive.
Supporters of race-based districting claim it fosters fair representation for minorities, but opponents argue it entrenches racial division and undermines the universality of voting rights. The overarching concern is that such arrangements institutionalize racial self-interest, reducing individuals to their racial group in the political process.
