US supreme court expedites Voting Rights Act ruling so Louisiana can redraw its maps for midterms | US supreme court
The US Supreme Court expedited its ruling on a Louisiana congressional map case, allowing for the implementation of a recent decision that gutted section 2 of the Voting Rights Act ahead of schedule. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas joined in the majority opinion, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, arguing that the court's action was inappropriate and politically motivated. The expedited ruling is likely to benefit Louisiana Republicans who had previously cancelled a congressional primary election after mail-in ballots were already sent out.
