January 1, Louisiana Battles Voting Act at Supreme Court
Wyatt’s Take
- Louisiana is fighting a part of the Voting Rights Act at the Supreme Court.
- The state says race-based districting divides Americans and breaks the Constitution.
- This case could change how states handle voting maps for years to come.
Louisiana is taking a stand against Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, bringing its case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The heart of the dispute is a congressional map drawn in 2022, which created two majority-Black districts after federal courts ordered changes. Louisiana followed those court orders but now says those changes go against the Constitution’s promise of equal treatment for all.
Attorney General Liz Murrill puts it plain: “Our Constitution sees neither Black voters nor white voters; it sees only American voters.” Louisiana argues Section 2 only serves to divide, forcing states into making decisions based on race, not fairness. The state believes there is no longer a need for this “extraordinary remedy.” The Supreme Court is being urged to look hard at Section 2 and toss it out as unconstitutional.
The other side, led by groups like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and ACLU, sees Section 2 as essential. “Racial discrimination and racially polarized voting are not ancient history,” one brief says. They fear overturning the law would wipe out decades of work fighting for equal voting rights and open the door to more discrimination.
If the justices side with Louisiana, the state’s lawmakers will have to draw new voting maps without the limits Section 2 sets. The whole country is watching because what happens could shape voting rights across the nation.

Middle America families know all too well what it means when far-off courts redraw the rules. When states lose their say, everyday voters pay the price. This fight is about keeping power where it belongs: with the people, not unelected judges.

How can it not be racially discriminatory if you are dividing voting districts by race? How can it be fair if LA is treated differently than say Ohio? Why aren’t all states playing by the same rules?

Because a bunch of states are democrat controlled and democrats don’t pay by rules they didn’t make to help them.

I believe we all bleed red! I’m so discouraged we as humans can’t get past racism.
Color regardless should never play a part in our society!!!!

Blacks demand to be equal, yet they demand handicaps, such as gerrymandering, affirmative action, minority loans, minority awarded contracts, and the DEI\affirmative agencies in government is just for the purpose of seeing that blacks get special treatment and recognition. A black person campaigning for office who agrees with specially zoned voting districts so as to have a majority of colored people is not advocating equal right, but preferred/wanted prejudice.
