Anonymousabout 5 hours ago

The U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais on April 29, 2026, struck down Louisiana's second majority-Black congressional district as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander and imposed a new legal standard requiring proof of intentional racial discrimination under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling has triggered a nationwide redistricting scramble, with Republican-controlled states moving to redraw maps that could shift multiple House seats toward the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterms.
