Supreme Court Considers Limiting Race-Based Electoral Districts
The Supreme Court appears ready to limit a key tool of the Voting Rights Act, which has battled racial discrimination in voting for 60 years.
During a 2.5-hour argument, the court's six conservative justices seemed inclined to strike down a Black majority congressional district in Louisiana because it relied too heavily on race.
The change would boost Republican electoral prospects, particularly across the South.
This outcome would mark a fundamental change in the 1965 voting rights law, a centerpiece of the Civil Rights Movement that opened the ballot box to Black Americans and reduced persistent discrimination in voting.
