Will the Voting Rights Act survive the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais?
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 transformed America, ending the Jim Crow era and finally fulfilling the promise of a multiracial democracy. But 60 years later, it’s at risk of being erased.
The case at the center of it all, Louisiana v. Callais, challenges new state legislative maps meant to ensure fair representation. If the Court rules against them, it could set off a wave of voter suppression across the country.
