How the SCOTUS voting rights ruling could affect Congress, according to Eric Holder

"It is going to be a rough few years. But I am actually confident that a galvanized American people, focused American people, can right the system."

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Louisiana's 2024 election map, which aimed to create a second majority-Black congressional district, was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. This ruling reinterprets protections under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and is expected to reduce minority representation.

The Republican majority legislature is anticipated to redraw the map, potentially eliminating Democratic-held seats. The National Democratic Redistricting Committee is preparing a response to combat the ruling's effects.
