The U.S. Supreme Court has essentially gutted a key part of the Voting Rights Act.
In a decision for a case involving Louisiana’s 2024 congressional map, the court’s conservative justices reinterpreted Section 2 of the law and ruled the state unconstitutionally drew a congressional district based on race because it benefited Black voters.
The effect on this year’s midterm elections isn’t clear.

Ewwww weee The way God is going to deal with people on the day of judgement. This is purely hatred and it’s disgusting. Why though? Why do this all for what? Please have an answer ready for the Most High he is going to want answers!
Bottom line is any one ethnic or minority should NOT GET preferential treatment (or representation) simply because of that ethnicity or minority race. When you do that, you automatically discriminate against all other ethnics, races, minorities, AND majoritys!!!
This is a total lie. NPR is nothing more than a Democrat mouthpice. Memphis currently has a white Democrat. Not for long.
I know, let's create districts made up of people we can ply with welfare, special programs, and anti Republican propaganda, and they will vote for us for the next 200 years!
It doesn't benefit black voters. It benefits the Democrat party.
This is racial segregation.
The Democrats support racial segregation and racial discrimination when it benefits them.
They have the ethics of a slave owner.
after 60 years it's time to end affirmative action for congress. racism can't end until it all ends
Why are we STILL voting for humanity, dignity, humanity, integrity, respect, and to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from the pens and ink of these white OCTOGENARIANS?
Can we finally agree if we're going to allow segregation or not? Has been a very long time and we segregationalists are super confused. We CAN or CAN'T make all the coloreds in one district so the rest of us can live in peace? Asking for a friend
In 2022 Tennessee Republicans left Memphis, a predominantly African-American area, and nevertheless that district voted a white guy.… Steve Cohen into office as their representative. Hahaha
"Sue till it's Blue" isn't going to work anymore.
Memphis will GAIN a black representative.
When dems can't use race to benefit them they dont know what to do .😂
It won’t stop one person from voting. It won’t stop anyone who wants to run for office. What it might stop is the Democratic Party manipulating black voters like they were slaves to the Democratic Party. Ironically racial gerrymandering is segregation. I thought we were done with that years ago but democrats always liked it.
Democrats mad they are losing control of their slavery chains
It doesn’t prevent black candidates from getting elected. It prevents black Democrat candidates from being awarded a seat. Never seen a black Republican candidate win one of these racially gerrymandered districts.
Oh no, now all the people will have same power and districts won't be drawn to favour a minority group while dilluting the voting power of other groups.
This must be fascism.

At risk of what??? The dems not being able to use fraudulent voting anymore
So democrats are pretending they only represent black people? Isn't that racist?
What on earth is happening!?
All of majority minority districts will be replaced because they are racist and unconstitutional.
Yeah this is America we don't give a f*** what color you are we care about how you act
Black voters can vote for whomever they want.
That's what terrifies Democrats.
There is a very high probability that black people will be voting REPUBLICAN.
Race has nothing to do with this. Republicans are beating Democrats at their own game.
No more racial cheating from democrats. Equality for ALL ❤❤
Openly disgusting…. Courts are bought
Why are some ppl protected while others are not.
Good
REVERSE DISCRIMINATION!!!
