In Louisiana v. Callais, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling on April 29, 2026 that sharply limits Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, effectively requiring proof of intentional discrimination to challenge redistricting maps rather than demonstrating discriminatory effects. The decision completes a 13-year project begun with Shelby County v. Holder in 2013, stripping the last major federal enforcement mechanism against racial vote dilution and potentially reshaping up to 19 congressional districts across the South.
