Republicans target blue-state districts after US Supreme Court voting rights decision

Republicans are targeting majority-minority districts in blue states following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act. The Louisiana v. Callais ruling allows states to eliminate such districts for partisan advantage, with GOP-led states like Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee advancing new maps. The Department of Justice faces pressure to act on these changes, which could shift political power in the 2026 midterms.
