Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Map, Another Blow to Voting Rights Act - The New York Times

The Supreme Court’s narrowing of the Voting Rights Act and its decision to strike down Louisiana’s previous map opened a pathway for the state to redraw districts, which Republicans used to remove a majority-Black congressional district and shift most seats toward the GOP. The court’s contemporaneous decision striking down Hawaii’s public-carry restrictions underscores a broader conservative-majority trend of reshaping state-level legal arrangements across multiple issues. Civil-rights groups have responded with protests and targeted campaigns in reaction to the outcome.
