“The Supreme Court is hearing a case on Wednesday whose outcome could cause congressional seats throughout the country to flip from blue to red to cement Republican control of Congress. The case, a challenge to Louisiana’s congressional map, is a battle over whether states can use race as a factor in drawing electoral districts. But it could have much broader implications for the law, politics, and the remaining pillar of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. … Chief Justice John Roberts asked the lawyer for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund about the proper role of race in drawing congressional boundaries. … Justice Kavanaugh suggests that aspects of the Voting Rights Act might have an implicit sunset date, like the 25-year deadline Justice O’Connor proposed for race-conscious admissions in higher education in 2003.” (10/15/25)
