SCOTUS conservative majority appears inclined to weaken the Voting Rights Act's Section 2 protections against racial discrimination. This could spark a new wave of congressional redistricting, especially in the South that is racially polarized, giving the GOP a big boost. www.npr.org/2025/11/18/n...
Redistricting deadlines for the midterms loom as states wait for a Supreme Court ruling
Depending on the timing, a Supreme Court ruling that weakens Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination may lead to more states redrawing congressional maps before the 2026 midterms.
