A 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA)[9]. The ruling opened the door for states to enact discriminatory voting maps and laws by clearing the way for vote dilution practices[9]. This historic blow to the VRA appears to allow Louisiana and other states to engage in discriminatory redistricting without federal oversight[9].
