If the Supreme Court strikes down Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been interpreted to require the creation of majority-minority districts, Republicans could eliminate upward of a dozen Democratic-held districts across the South. Here's how.

The Republicans are voting now for massive layoffs and bankruptcies throughout the clean energy economy – a trillion dollar investment in a better future, abandoned.
