Summary

The Supreme Court on Wednesday dealt a serious blow to a legal strategy long used by Democrats and allied civil-rights groups to accumulate power. That strategy deployed the 1965 Voting Rights Act to compel states to create majority-minority electoral districts favoring the Left. In Louisiana v. Callais, a 6-3 high-court majority ruled that section 2 of the VRA doesn't obligate states to draw majority-minority congressional districts.
