The complaint avers that she is injured because she is a voter in a state which takes race into consideration when drawing legislative boundaries.

I think she needs to plead that she lives and votes in a legislative district which she can prove was drawn for the purpose of racial gerrymandering.

The sponsoring litigation group probably needs a better situated plaintiff.
