BREAKING: Supreme Court Drops HUGE Ruling on the Voting Rights Acthttps://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/04/29/the-supreme-court-ruling-on-the-voting-rights-act-is-here-its-huge-n4952320The Supreme Court just handed down one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation — and Democrats are not going to like it one bit.
In a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, the majority held that Louisiana's congressional map — redrawn to include a second majority-black district — constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Fifteenth Amendment. The Court stopped short of striking down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act entirely, but it dramatically narrowed the ways in which states may use race when drawing congressional maps.

The ruling's immediate implications are huge. As we’ve previously reported, Republicans could potentially pick up anywhere from 12 to 19 new House seats across the South, as states seize the opportunity to redraw maps that were previously constrained by Section 2 requirements.
...
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) had previously announced a special legislative session to redistrict his state ahead of the ruling, a sign that Republican-led states were loading the chamber before the gun went off. Now the starting pistol has fired, and others will likely follow.
Democrats have spent years leaning on majority-minority districts as a structural advantage — a way to pack reliably Democratic voters into safe seats under the cover of civil rights law, unconstitutionally expanding their majority in Congress.
Outlawing race-based districting is decades overdue. Dems' and Progs' reactions will reveal their hearts.
