Supreme Court rules on key Voting Rights Act rule as Republicans and Democrats wage redistricting war Open in Foxnews.com
Highlights
  • Republicans see a clear win in the Supreme Court decision striking down Louisiana’s maps, which could keep them in control of the House after November’s election.
  • The decision did not end Section 2, but it weakened it and made drawing majority-minority districts harder, especially in the South.
  • The ruling triggers a broader debate on how much race should influence map-drawing and which districts are protected under voting rights law.
