(1/5) 🚨BREAKING: SCOTUS guts Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by making it harder to challenge racially discriminatory maps. Today’s decision will threaten Black and brown political representation for generations in Southern states. Full story to come. www.democracydocket.com/cases/louisi...

How would it secure 27 GOP seats? Aren't the red states more or less already gerrymandered to hell and back? And doesn't this also allow Blue states to do the same?

(3/5) WHAT'S NEXT: The case will return to lower courts for more proceedings, and the ~20 lawsuits on hold pending a decision in Callais will likely move forward. Florida — the only state left in the ongoing redistricting war — could benefit from today’s decision before the 2026 election.

(4/5) HOW DID WE GET HERE: The court first heard the case last March when it questioned whether LA violated the constitution by drawing a map to comply with the VRA. But it scheduled a rare rehearing in October on the question of whether Section 2 of the VRA violates the 14th or 15th Amendment.
