The U.S. Supreme Court said Friday it will review the constitutionality of a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act in a case involving Louisiana’s congressional map, which was amended to add a second Black-majority district. The justices will consider whether using race to create such districts as a remedy for violations of the act conflicts with the Constitution’s equal protection clause, Reuters reports. The court previously heard arguments in the case in March. But in June, the justices declined to issue a ruling and indicated they would invite the parties to address additional questions. The decision is expected by June 2026.
