Summary

The United States Supreme Court just effectively dismantled what remained of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This party line decision in Louisiana versus Calais represents a seismic shift in American law, targeting the enforcement protections of Section 2 that once guarded against racial gerrymandering. By removing the legal pathways for minority voters to seek fair representation, the court has signaled a retreat from the ideal of a multiracial democracy.
