So, why should there be a presumption that the legislature acted in good faith, despite the last 150 years of legislatures never acting in good faith in this area? Alito gives three reasons (he calls them three "additional" reasons, but what he regards as the primary reason is not clear -

The only way to counteract the extreme gerrymanders of WI, NC, and the like is for democratic states to enact their own extreme gerrymanders. When states that could have 90% D's only send 60% D's because their boundaries were drawn by non-partisan commissions there is no reason for R's to change.

Also likely they're soon going to rule that legislatures can't have redistricting authority taken away from them without their consent, overturning Arizona Leg v Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission. We're going to see Wisconsin everywhere if the Supremes have their way.
