TL;DR Summary

A decade after the US Supreme Court dismantled a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, Republican-led states have passed at least 104 restrictive voting laws, including voter ID laws, limited use of drop boxes, and redrawn political district maps. The justices are expected to rule in the coming weeks in a new case out of Alabama that could make it much more difficult for minority groups to sue over gerrymandered political maps that dilute their representation. The recent wave of voting changes has been pushed by Republican lawmakers who point to concerns over elections that have been fueled by former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
