Supreme Court Considers Limiting Race-Based Electoral Districts
The Supreme Court appears ready to limit a key tool of the Voting Rights Act, which has been used to combat racial discrimination in voting for 60 years.
During a 2.5-hour argument session, the court's six conservative justices seemed inclined to strike down a Black majority congressional district in Louisiana, citing its reliance on race.
The change would boost Republican electoral prospects, particularly across the South.
This potential outcome would mark a significant change to the 1965 Voting Rights Act, a cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement that aimed to reduce discrimination in voting and increase Black American access to the ballot box.
