What should be an impossible occurrence has now become routine. The conservatives on the nation’s highest court continue to undermine democracy and the Constitution—and if they have to lie to do it, so be it. So perhaps we shouldn’t be all that surprised to learn that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, in which he blithely destroyed the Voting Rights Act, had a major statistical error at the heart of it that undermines a big part of his analysis.
