The Supreme Court didn’t kill the Voting Rights Act yesterday, but they might as well have. They left it in a persistent judicial vegetative state, severely limiting how Section II can be applied to the drawing of congressional districts based on race. They can’t, in other words, because you can’t base anything in America solely on race. That’s what the Constitution says; Democrat lies to the contrary be damned.
The case—Louisiana v. Callais—concerned a congressional map that was struck down for allegedly violating the VRA. Its redraw was later challenged as unconstitutional on the grounds that it specifically created a majority-black district. The Court ruled 6-3 that this was unconstitutional. Now, Section II wasn’t gutted, but it essentially was, as the liberal dissent written by Justice Kagan stipulated. The entire South is now open to be redrawn, and Louisiana isn’t wasting any time. Gov. Jeff Landry has already canceled the upcoming primaries so his state can redraw its districts to comply with the ruling:
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) told Republican House candidates Wednesday that he plans to suspend next month’s primary elections so state lawmakers can pass a new congressional map first, according to two people with knowledge of the calls.
The move follows a Supreme Court decision earlier in the day that found Louisiana had unlawfully discriminated by race when it created a second majority Black congressional district under legal pressure. The ruling positions Republicans to gain one or two seats in the midterms as they fight to hold their narrow majority in the House.
The 6-3 decision limited a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act and could lead to other Black Democrats across the South losing their House seats. Most states are unlikely to be able to redraw districts in time for the November midterm elections, but Louisiana could be one of the exceptions.
Landry’s announcement to suspend the May 16 primary could come as early as Friday — one day before early voting is to begin, according to people familiar with his plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Some estimates say Republicans could gain as many as 15 seats throughout the South because of all the Democrat-inspired voting districts that were created based solely on the color of residents’ skin. And by the way, the winners in Wednesday’s SCOTUS ruling want it to take effect immediately rather than wait the customary 32 days because early voting will have begun before then – in voting districts that have been deemed unconstitutional:

It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!
The application notes that the Legislature is considering pushing back election deadlines to draw a new map, but that jurisdiction must first be returned to the district court to approve such a map or impose its own.
Prepare for the onslaught of Democrats meltdowns, which have already begun. Cry harder, Dems; y’all imposed illegal maps for decades, and now you’re facing a long overdue reckoning.
