When does the US Supreme Court consider any form of gerrymandering unconstitutional?
There is a difference between redistricting and gerrymandering. Redistricting to keep voting fair and equitable is legal (although it may be challenged in court).
Gerrymandering is drawing the voting districts in some way that increases or decreases the elective power of the votes cast in those districts.
Gerrymandering was one way that the Northern Ireland Protestant Unionists kept power in the province when there were as many or more Roman Catholics in a given area.
Gerrymandering is always unconstitutional since the Constitution guarantees equal rights to all.
