The Supreme Court's Impending Ruling on Voting Rights
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a case that will determine the fate of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
The case revolves around Congressional district maps in Louisiana, which has six districts.
The ruling, when it comes, will be disastrous for Black voters and for Democrats.
The outcome is expected to favor the Republican justices, allowing for the dilution of Black voting rights through racist gerrymandering.
- The case is about whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act prevents white people from overrepresenting themselves in Congress.
- The six Republican justices are expected to declare the Voting Rights Act inert.
Author's summary: The Supreme Court's ruling will likely gut the Voting Rights Act.
