DLHS Hour 1 | Supreme Court strikes down majority black district in Louisiana

About this episode

D.L. discusses the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Louisiana's majority-Black congressional district and its implications for voting rights.

D.L. kicks things off with a sharp breakdown of the Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision to strike down Louisiana’s second majority-Black congressional district, a ruling critics say significantly weakens the Voting Rights Act and could reshape congressional maps nationwide ahead of future elections. The Court’s decision has already thrown Louisiana’s elections into limbo and raised alarms among civil rights leaders who warn it may make it harder for minority voters to challenge racially diluted districts.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
