Conservative justices open to eroding power of Voting Rights Act

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority signaled deep skepticism today over a second majority Black district drawn in Louisiana, despite a lower court ruling that found the district was likely necessary to respect the landmark Voting Rights Act.

At issue is a second majority Black district drawn in Louisiana following the 2020 census that elected Rep. Cleo Fields, a Democrat, to the House. The state drew that district in response to a lower court that found the state likely violated the landmark 1965 civil rights law with the initial version of its map. #CNN #News
