Supreme Court ruling weakens a key tool of the Voting Rights Act



The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana's second majority Black congressional district in a decision that could open the door for Republican-led states to eliminate Black and Latino electoral districts that tend to favor Democrats and affect the balance of power in Congress.

In a 6-3 ruling, the court's conservative majority found that the district, represented by Democrat Cleo Fields, relied too heavily on race. Chief Justice John Roberts had described the district as a "snake" that stretches more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) to link parts of the Shreveport, Alexandria, Lafayette and Baton Rouge areas.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network, called the decision a "bullet in the heart of the voting rights movement."

Non racially gerrymandered districts may not be not be implemented before the midterms.

If the majority of African-Americans voted Republican this would have been overturned by a liberal SCOTUS forty years ago.

Louisiana governor postpones U.S. House primary elections after Supreme Court ruling

Republican Gov. Jeff Landry suspended the May 16 primary elections for Louisiana's six U.S. House seats Thursday, the day after the U.S. Supreme Court declared the state's existing congressional map unconstitutional.

"Allowing elections to proceed under an unconstitutional map would undermine the integrity of our system and violate the rights of our voters," Landry said in a written statement. "This executive order ensures we uphold the rule of law while giving the Legislature the time it needs to pass a fair and lawful congressional map."

Absentee voting in the U.S. House races had already begun, and early voting was scheduled to start Saturday. But postponing the election allows Landry and the Louisiana Legislature to pass a new map that eliminates one or both of Louisiana's two majority-Black congressional districts.

Democrats have already started filing legal challenges to the governor's decision that aim to put the House elections back on their previous schedule.

A father running for office in Oklahoma has been found dead.

On Thursday, the body of Barry Christian, 54, was found inside his vehicle at a wildlife refuge near Erick, a small city in Western Oklahoma, just a few miles east of the Texas panhandle.

State election records confirmed that on April 2, he filed to run as a Republican for Senate District 38. On his campaign website, Christian portrayed himself as a pro-Trump "conservative" who supported the First and Second Amendments and opposed open borders and abortion.
