The Supreme Court will rule for Republicans in those cases (Callais, NRSC)—that train has left the station.
The only way to stop indefinite minority rule is to elect a President and 51 Senators who will:
*end the filibuster
*pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act
*expand SCOTUS and enact term limits

People are worried about Trump not leaving office in 2029 but they should be more worried about the Supreme Court enabling perpetual Republican rule by overturning what remains of the Voting Rights Act and campaign finance laws. SCOTUS has those cases this term.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
