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 racial gerrymandering.
The outcome is expected to be disastrous for Black voters and Democrats, as the six Republican justices are likely to rule in favor of allowing racist gerrymandering.
- The case involves Congressional district maps in Louisiana, which has six districts.
- Oral arguments suggested that the justices had already made up their minds, with Republicans justifying their positions.
The ruling will be disastrous for Black voters and for Democrats.
