Supreme Court Blocks Move For North Dakota Redistricting Pausing The VOTING RIGHTS ACT Cold.

From NPR:

The Supreme Court on Thursday preserved the status quo in most of the country, guaranteeing voters, at least for now, the ability to sue to enforce rights guaranteed under the 1965 Voting Rights Act. At issue in the North Dakota case is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which makes race-based voting discrimination illegal. The act, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, prohibited discriminatory practices such as literacy tests and poll taxes that disqualified many African Americans from voting in the post-Civil War era South. The court's action in the North Dakota case comes weeks after the justices decided to rehear a similar case from Louisiana next term. In ordering the Louisiana case restored to the docket for reargument, however, the court said that when it schedules the date for reargument it will specify "any additional questions to be addressed in a supplemental briefing." The translation of that is that the court may ask for additional briefing addressing the question of whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights act is itself unconstitutional because it results in the consideration of race in addressing how the Louisiana legislature drew the lines for congressional districts. In drawing the map, the legislature sought to to both assure a second majority-minority district and at the same time maintain safe districts for high ranking Republican members of the U.S. House, including the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
