Answer 2

The issue of drawing voting districts based solely on race continued to be a concern.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Shaw V. Reno, the case which was decided in 1993, the Supreme Court narrowly ruled that redistricting centers mainly on race must be conducted with rigorous or stringent measures under the equal protection clause. And at the same time, the people in charge of redistricting must be well aware of the race issue such that they must follow the guiding principles of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 accordingly.

This ruling is however influenced the ruling of Miller V Johnson in 1995, in which the judge cited Shaw V. Reno and concluded that federal anti-discrimination laws such as race issue alone are not sufficient for a significant state interest, but rather the tenets of voting right acts. Thereby echoing the idea that the issue of drawing voting districts based solely on race continued to be a concern.
