Description:

In a 6 to 3 decision, the Supreme Court voted last week to weaken the federal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act in the landmark case, Louisiana v. Callais.


The court found that Louisiana's congressional map was an "unconstitutional racial gerrymander" because it included two majority-Black districts.


On Midday Edition, we explore what this ruling means for voter representation in the U.S. We also unpack the consequences for voting rights ahead of the midterms.
