Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Key Voting Rights Act Rulings

The Supreme Court blocked a North Dakota redistricting case that challenged the Voting Rights Act, with some justices dissenting. The case involved Native American tribes arguing that the state's 2021 legislative map diluted their voting power, but a lower court's decision was challenged by the 8th Circuit, which ruled only the Justice Department can sue under Section 2, conflicting with previous court decisions. The Court also has a separate case involving Louisiana's congressional districts and is set to hear more redistricting issues in its upcoming term.
