Supreme Court Considers Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court may overturn a key component of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits elections or voting practices from discriminating based on race.
This decision could bolster Republican state legislatures' efforts to redraw congressional maps, potentially expanding their majority and crushing minority representation in Congress.
- According to Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter Fund, a ruling gutting the race provision could allow the GOP to redraw up to 19 House seats in their favor.
- It may also prevent Black voters from challenging political maps they believe do not accurately represent them.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Louisiana v.
Author's summary: Supreme Court considers overturning Voting Rights Act provision.
