Supreme Court Considers Limiting Race-Based Electoral Districts
The Supreme Court appears poised to limit a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, which has combated racial discrimination in voting for 60 years.
During a 2.5-hour argument session, the court's six conservative justices seemed inclined to strike down a Black majority congressional district in Louisiana, citing its reliance on race.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday appeared ready to gut a key tool of the Voting Rights Act that has helped root out racial discrimination in voting for more than a half century.
- The potential ruling could significantly impact Republican electoral prospects, particularly in the South.
- Such an outcome would mark a fundamental change in the 1965 voting rights law, a cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement.
