Supreme Court Voting Rights Act
Definition
A phrase referring to the United States Supreme Court's interpretations and rulings concerning the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a landmark federal statute prohibiting racial discrimination in voting.
Particularly, the April 29, 2026, 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, where the conservative majority, led by Justice Alito, narrowed Section 2 of the VRA, ruling that evidence of racial vote dilution must show a 'strong inference' of discrimination before race-conscious redistricting remedies are allowed, effectively limiting protections against minority vote dilution.
Examples
