The Supreme Court has struck down another key provision of the Voting Rights Act, making it harder for voters of color to challenge redistricting plans that allegedly weaken minority political power. In a 6-3 decision led by conservative justices, the court blocked an electoral map that granted Louisiana a second Black-majority congressional district. Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion could spark efforts in several states to draw new maps before the November midterm elections. Republican officials who control the state government in Louisiana have not yet indicated how they will respond. State Attorney General Liz Murrill said she will collaborate with the legislature and Governor Jeff Landry to develop a “constitutionally compliant map.” In Florida, lawmakers approved new congressional districts devised by GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, intended to secure 24 out of 28 House seats for Republicans this fall. The Supreme Court’s ruling is likely to bolster DeSantis’s position in defending the map against anticipated legal challenges.
