Supreme Court questions Section 2 redistricting rules

The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision in Louisiana v. Callais by June 2026.

When did the Supreme Court hear reargument in Louisiana v. Callais?

Before Section 2 litigation in 1992, Alabama had zero Black representatives in Congress for 115 years after Reconstruction ended.

The Supreme Court's conservative majority has consistently protected and expanded Voting Rights Act protections over the past decade.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act requires states to create districts where minority representation is proportional to the minority population.
