WARNOCK: VOTING RIGHTS DECISION FUELS REDISTRICTING ARMS RACE
Sen. Raphael Warnock calls Supreme Court decision a devastating blow to Black representation.
Senator Raphael Warnock called the Supreme Court's decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act and strike down Louisiana's congressional map "a massive and devastating blow." He warned the ruling has "poured fuel on this redistricting arms race," meaning states will now aggressively redraw maps to dilute Black political power. The consequence: fewer Black voices in Congress and state legislatures.
