Supreme Court Consideration of Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court is considering a case that may significantly impact the Voting Rights Act, specifically the provision that prohibits elections or voting practices from discriminating based on race.
According to voting rights groups Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter Fund, a ruling in favor of gutting the race provision could allow the GOP to redraw up to 19 House seats to favor the party, potentially crushing minority representation in Congress.
The justices’ ruling could actually crush minority representation in Congress.
- The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Louisiana v.
- A ruling gutting the race provision would let the GOP nationwide redraw congressional maps to expand the party’s majority.
- It could also prevent Black voters from challenging political maps they believe don’t accurately represent them.
Author's summary: Court ruling may impact Voting Rights Act.
