The Supreme Court's Impending Ruling on Voting Rights
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a case that will determine whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act prevents white people from overrepresenting themselves in Congress.
The outcome of this case seems predetermined, with the six Republican justices likely to declare the Voting Rights Act ineffective and allow the dilution of Black voting rights through racist gerrymandering.
- The case involves Congressional district maps in Louisiana, which has six districts.
- The ruling is expected to be disastrous for Black voters and Democrats.
The six Republican justices are going to declare the Voting Rights Act inert and allow the dilution of Black voting rights through racist gerrymandering.
