Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act Case and Kavanaugh's Legacy

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court, with a conservative 6-3 majority, is considering a case that could significantly weaken the Voting Rights Act of 1965, particularly its Section 2, which prohibits voting maps that dilute minority voting power. The case involves Louisiana's district maps and the potential for the Court to further limit protections against racial discrimination in voting, which could benefit Republican-led redistricting efforts and impact minority voters' rights.
