Supreme Court Inclined to Limit Race-Based Districts
The Supreme Court appears ready to limit a key tool of the Voting Rights Act, which has helped root out racial discrimination in voting for over half a century.
During oral arguments in a Louisiana redistricting case, conservative justices seemed skeptical about the drawing of a second Black-majority district, suggesting a change that could boost Republican electoral prospects, particularly in the South.
The court's six conservative justices seemed inclined to effectively strike down a Black majority congressional district in Louisiana because it relied too heavily on race.
The case could undermine the Voting Rights Act of 1965, with potential implications for voting rights across the country.
