أصدرت المحكمة العليا حكماً تاريخياً في 29 أبريل قلص بشكل كبير نطاق القسم الثاني من قانون حقوق التصويت. وقد دفع القرار الصادر في قضية لويزيانا ضد كاليس العديد من الولايات إلى إعادة رسم خرائط الدوائر الانتخابية للكونغرس، حيث أشار المشرعون في الولايات المتأثرة إلى أسباب حزبية وراء هذه التغييرات.
يتطلب الحكم من المدعين في قضايا حقوق التصويت مستقبلاً استيفاء معايير أعلى من خلال الفصل بين العرق والسياسة. ويمثل هذا التحول ابتعاداً عن الإطار القائم على النتائج نحو إطار يركز على إثبات التمييز المتعمد.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 on April 29, 2026, in Louisiana v. Callais that Louisiana’s congressional map (SB8) was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, concluding the Voting Rights Act did not require the state to draw an additional majority-Black district. Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., called the ruling “a massive and devastating blow,” warning it could accelerate redistricting fights across Southern states ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
The US Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision in Callais v. Louisiana, significantly weakening Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act following October 2025 oral arguments. Critics argue the ruling, led by the Republican-appointed majority, invites states to redraw maps entrenching racial disenfranchisement. Republicans expressed satisfaction with the outcome.

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's April 29, 2026, decision in Louisiana v. Callais declaring the state's congressional map an unconstitutional racial gerrymander (as covered previously in this series), Louisiana has suspended its upcoming primaries for U.S. House races. The ruling affects one of the state's two Democratic-held majority-Black districts. Other primaries, including U.S. Senate, proceed May 16.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) postponed the state's U.S. House primaries until at least mid-July via emergency executive order following the Supreme Court's April 29, 2026, ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which struck down the congressional map as unconstitutional under the Voting Rights Act. The move, praised by President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson but challenged by a lawsuit, has caused voter confusion amid ongoing early voting for other races, as Republicans eye redistricting gains.
The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that a newly drawn congressional map favored by Democrats is unconstitutional, overturning the results of a special election and leaving the state with its previous boundaries.

The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday struck down a voter-approved redistricting plan that Democrats hoped would add four House seats. The 4-3 ruling cited a procedural error in how the measure reached the ballot. The decision comes amid a broader wave of Republican-led map changes in Southern states.
