The Supreme Court's decision to weaken a key section of the Voting Rights Act could impact election boundaries in Arizona, potentially through a potential lawsuit to challenge its existing state legislative maps. The ruling, which affects Section 2 of the Civil Rights Era law, allows it to be harder to challenge political maps for being racially discriminatory. This could result in rapid redistricting action in certain GOP-led states where the process is controlled by politicians. However, experts suggest that any challenge will face an uphill legal battle. The decision is most likely to affect mapmaking at the end of the decade, when the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission reconvenes to draw new congressional and legislative boundaries.
