Supreme Court rules on key Voting Rights Act rule as Republicans and Democrats wage redistricting war

The Supreme Court limited a key provision of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) in a 6-3 ruling, narrowing how states can consider race when drawing congressional maps. The decision, in Louisiana v. Callais, could reduce minority representation and trigger legal challenges, as it questions the long-term viability of Section 2 of the VRA and its protections against racial gerrymandering.
