US Supreme Court lets Voting Rights Act ruling take effect ahead of schedule
The order lets Louisiana move ahead without the usual 32-day delay, speeding efforts to redraw a map that could erase two majority-Black districts.
- On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed its recent Voting Rights Act of 1965 ruling to take effect immediately, bypassing the standard 32-day waiting period for Louisiana to redraw congressional maps.
- The Court's April 29 6-3 decision struck down Louisiana's map as an "unconstitutional gerrymander", with Justice Samuel Alito writing that Voting Rights Act vote dilution protections do not apply when maps lack sufficient majority-minority districts.
- Bypassing the month-long pause prompted a sharp exchange between Alito and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who decried the decision as "tantamount to an approval of Louisiana's rush to pause the ongoing election."
- Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry suspended the state's U.S. House primaries to facilitate redistricting, a move that could eliminate one of two majority-Black Democratic seats before November.
- Republican-Led states including Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama are assessing whether to leverage this ruling to boost GOP gerrymandering efforts, signaling broader potential shifts in congressional control.

For all of the Democrat’s attempts to declare the ‘unfit’ nature of the 6-3 court, it’s not the GOP-appointed judges who have been beclowning themselves. Anyone claiming that the Thomas/Alito side of the ledger has led some kind of a partisan takeover of the court runs up against a hard wall of inconvenient facts — like the 9-0, 8-1, and …
