The Supreme Court’s conservative majority dealt a “death blow” to the landmark Voting Rights Act, according to Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, who argued the case before the court. Only hours later, southern state Republicans announced their intention to redraw Congressional maps before the midterm elections.

In dissent, Justice Elaina Kagan said “the consequences are likely to be far-reaching and grave.”

Today’s Supreme Court decision in Louisiana vs. Callais is a direct attack on Black voters and marks a shameful moment in our democracy. This ruling opens the door to racial gerrymandering that will take us back to Jim Crow. This ruling is a betrayal of Black voters and the promise of democracy. We will not stay silent.
