Supreme Court Considers Future of Voting Rights Act
Originally Published 2 months ago — by NBC News
The Supreme Court is considering whether to weaken a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in a case involving Louisiana's congressional map, which was redrawn to include two majority-Black districts. The case raises constitutional questions about whether race can be considered in district drawing, with conservatives arguing for a colorblind interpretation of the 14th and 15th amendments. A decision could impact minority representation and electoral dynamics ahead of the 2026 elections.
