U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Louisiana Election Map, Weakening Voting Rights Act
The U.S. Supreme Court on April 29 struck down Louisiana's congressional map designed to create two majority-Black districts. In a 6-3 decision, the conservative majority ruled that the map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, altering the standard for proving discrimination under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. President Trump called it a 'big win,' while critics warn it will allow states to dilute minority voting power.
