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 2.5 hours of arguments, 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.
Such an outcome would mark a fundamental change in the 1965 voting rights law, the centerpiece legislation of the Civil Rights Movement.
This change would boost Republican electoral prospects, particularly across the South, and could undermine the law's ability to root out racial discrimination in voting.
Author's summary: Supreme Court may limit Voting Rights Act tool.
