9:32Now PlayingThe US Supreme Court sharply limited the use of the Voting Rights Act to create predominantly Black or Hispanic election districts in a major ruling that buttresses Republican efforts to keep control of the House in this year’s midterms and beyond. Rep. Cleo Fields (D-LA) joins David Gura and Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend to discuss.
Voting 6-3 along ideological lines, the justices on Wednesday rejected a Louisiana congressional map that was drawn with a second majority-Black district after a lower court found an earlier set of lines to be discriminatory. Writing for the court, Justice Samuel Alito said the current map was an “unconstitutional racial gerrymander.”
The ruling undercuts what had been the most significant remaining part of the Voting Rights Act, a law passed in 1965 to address rampant discrimination against Black voters. Although the court didn’t strike down the law or explicitly overrule any precedents, the majority set up a demanding new test for those seeking to create heavily minority districts.
