Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana map in major Voting Rights Act decision

The Supreme Court declared Louisiana’s addition of a second majority-Black congressional district an unconstitutional gerrymander on Wednesday, a 6-3 decision along ideological lines that weakens a central provision of the Voting Rights Act.

Louisiana’s legal saga thrust the state into the center of conservatives’ push to curtail Section 2 of the landmark voting law, which has long enabled advocacy groups to force new majority-minority districts.
