Supreme Court signals the end of legalized race-games — hooray!
Published on April 29, 2026.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the use of race in electoral lines violates the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law. The ruling, a 6-3 decision, invalidates a Louisiana districting scheme that added a second majority-black House district to comply with the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The court stated that the act did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, as there was no compelling interest to justify such a practice. The decision allows the country to move towards a more transparent approach to politics driven by the content of candidates' programs, not their race.
