They argue that the decision will allow states to draw voter maps that eliminate districts designed to allow racial minorities to elect representatives of their choice and will therefore discriminate against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time some conservative think tanks hailed the ruling as a win for equal voting protections and a rebuke of race-based redistricting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case, <em>Louisiana v. Callais, <\/em>the Supreme Court\u2019s conservative majority struck down the state\u2019s latest congressional map, which created a second Black-majority congressional district. In a 6-3 decision written by Justice Samuel Alito, the court said the Voting Rights Act does not require states to draw districts predominately on the basis of race. In his decision, Alito wrote that to run afoul of Section 2 of the act, which allows for consideration of race in redistricting, there had to be a \u201cstrong inference that intentional discrimination occurred\u201d when mapping a district \u2014 something that critics say is very hard to prove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling is the latest in a series of Supreme Court decisions that have steadily narrowed the reach of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act. The decision lands as states continue to face lawsuits over lines drawn after the 2020 census and the partisan mid-decade redistricting race set off by Texas and as both parties prepare for 2026 midterm races. Voting rights groups said the ruling will embolden legislatures to pursue maps that reduce minority representation, and they renewed calls for federal legislation to restore protections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-progressive-outcry\">Progressive Outcry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court\u2019s ruling could embolden politicians to dilute the electoral power of historically marginalized communities, said Independent Sector CEO Akilah Watkins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRecent history shows that when courts water down the Voting Rights Act\u2019s guardrails against racial discrimination, politicians feel empowered to intensify efforts to deny minority groups the opportunity to elect the candidates of their choice,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/independentsector.org\/blog\/response-to-supreme-court-decision-voting-rights-act\/\">wrote in a statement<\/a> Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling weakens Section 2 of the act \u201cto the point of inoperability\u201d and \u201copens the door to racist redistricting,\u201d League of Women Voters president Dianna Wynn and CEO Celina Stewart <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lwv.org\/newsroom\/press-releases\/league-women-voters-condemns-supreme-court-ruling-dismantling-bedrock-civil\">wrote <\/a>in a statement. The court has signaled that discrimination against Black voters and other voters of color will be tolerated \u201cas long as you don\u2019t say it out loud,\u201d they wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brennancenter.org\/our-work\/analysis-opinion\/brennan-center-reacts-devastating-louisiana-v-callais-ruling\">The decision<\/a> \u201cdismantled the ability of voters of color to have a fair chance for representation\u201d and \u201cencouraged partisan gerrymandering,\u201d wrote Michael Waldman, CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law. Congress must respond by banning gerrymandering in congressional races, renewing voting protections, and considering Supreme Court reforms such as term limits, he wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/articles\/the-supreme-court-just-gutted-the-voting-rights-act\/\">all but ended\u201d<\/a> the act\u2019s promise that communities of color can seek fair congressional districts, wrote Common Cause, a government watchdog group. The organization urged Congress to pass new voting rights legislation and said it would focus on efforts including state-level voting rights acts, challenging federal actions in court, and fighting what it described as \u201cmid-decade gerrymanders\u201d ahead of the 2026 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling would allow states to \u201cenact discriminatory maps with impunity,\u201d the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naacpldf.org\/press-release\/supreme-court-strikes-down-louisiana-map-and-destroys-key-voting-rights-act-provision\/\">warned<\/a>. The court \u201creversed decades of progress toward a multiracial democracy,\u201d said president and director-counsel Janai Nelson, who called it \u201ca day of shame for the Supreme Court.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling \u201cseriously undermined\u201d the ability of Black, Latino, and other minority communities to achieve equal voting rights, according to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF. The decision \u201cdismantles the legal protections for minority voters as we become a more important voice in the country\u2019s politics,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maldef.org\/2026\/04\/maldef-statement-on-supreme-court-decision-in-louisiana-v-callais\/\">wrote<\/a> Nina Perales, MALDEF\u2019s vice president of litigation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/supreme-court-strikes-down-louisiana-map-and-destroys-key-voting-rights-act-provision#:~:text=%22Today%27s%20decision%20is%20a%20significant,disproportionately%20burden%20communities%20of%20color\">a profound betrayal\u201d<\/a> that weakens the primary tool voters of color use to challenge discriminatory maps and election systems, wrote the American Civil Liberties Union voting rights project director Sophia Lin Lakin. In practical terms, she said, communities could be left without \u201cthe most significant weapon\u201d to stop states from drawing districts that dilute minority political power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ruling is the latest step in what the American Constitution Society <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acslaw.org\/press_release\/acs-condemns-the-supreme-courts-decision-demolishing-the-voting-rights-act\/\">described<\/a> as Chief Justice John Roberts\u2019s court\u2019s effort \u201cto hollow out the Voting Rights Act \u2026 until nothing meaningful remains.\u201d The group said the effects will be \u201cdevastating,\u201d not only for congressional maps but also for local government districts, noting that many Section 2 cases challenge city and county election systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conservative-approval\">Conservative Approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conservative groups praised the ruling as a constitutional correction. Alito\u2019s opinion confirmed that lower courts had misread the Voting Rights Act by pressuring states to take the \u201cwrong\u201d approach and sort voters by race, according to the Heritage Foundation. The decision makes clear that Section 2 was meant \u201cto enforce the Constitution \u2014 not collide with it,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/press\/heritage-expert-scotus-ruling-win-election-integrity-and-constitutional-redistricting\">wrote <\/a>Zack Smith, a senior legal fellow at Heritage. He predicted some states will have to revisit maps drawn under what he called misguided interpretations. The court prevented the Voting Rights Act from becoming \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americafirstpolicy.com\/issues\/afpi-celebrates-supreme-court-victory-for-equal-protection-in-redistricting\">a tool for partisan gerrymandering\u201d<\/a>&nbsp; wrote America First Policy Institute chair for election integrity Kenneth Blackwell. He added that the decision reinforced the principle that the government \u201ccannot divide citizens based on race.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ruling on the Louisiana map fuels a debate over race in redistricting ahead of 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":365283,"featured_media":4402231487803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"content-type":"","cop_editorial_slug":"News-Beasley-VotingRightsCourt-0426","cop_asana_id":"1214405609576052","editorial_asana_id":"","editorial_doc_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[81925],"issue":[],"profile":[],"role":[191049],"series":[],"topic":[191096],"coauthors":[190141],"class_list":{"0":"post-4402231487801","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-news","8":"role-leading","9":"topic-government-and-regulation","11":"has-featured-image"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Progressive Nonprofits Slam Court&#039;s Voting Rights Decision, Brace for Map Fights &#8211;
