3. Why wouldn't Dem voters have legal standing in this case?

Is the court saying Democrats can be legally treated as second class citizens and have their voting rights diminished while Republicans get to tilt the scales in their favor?

I tried google, but there's no discussion or explanation about why Republicans get preferential treatment. Anyone have an idea about why Dems wouldn't have legal standing?
