Supreme Court May Limit Race-Based Electoral Districts
The Supreme Court appears ready to limit a key tool of the Voting Rights Act, which has battled racial discrimination in voting for 60 years.
During 2.5 hours of arguments, the court's six conservative justices seemed inclined to strike down a Black majority congressional district in Louisiana because it relied too heavily on race.
The change would boost Republican electoral prospects, particularly across the South.
This outcome would mark a fundamental change in the 1965 voting rights law, a centerpiece of the Civil Rights Movement.
