Activistas se manifiestan en Montgomery para defender el derecho al voto

Miles de personas se reunieron en Montgomery, Alabama, el sábado para protestar por los recientes fallos de la Corte Suprema sobre los distritos electorales y para recorrer los pasos de la marcha por los derechos civiles de 1965.

El evento, llamado All Roads Lead to the South, atrajo a pasajeros en autobús desde Georgia y Carolina del Sur hasta Dexter Avenue. Los participantes buscaron renovar los esfuerzos por la representación política negra después de que una decisión de 6-3 de la Corte Suprema anulara un distrito de mayoría negra en Luisiana. Los organizadores de Fair Fight Action coordinaron la manifestación dos días después de los ecos del aniversario de la marcha.

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a series of recent orders allowing Louisiana and Alabama to redraw congressional maps that eliminate Black opportunity districts.

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's April 29 ruling in Callais v. Louisiana—which struck down a second majority-Black congressional district as racial gerrymandering—civil rights advocates in the Deep South have condemned the decision as a threat to Black representation. States including Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana are redrawing maps, prompting vows of lawsuits and midterm mobilization.

A POLITICO/Public First survey conducted May 9–11 finds a plurality of Democrats say their party should respond to Republican redistricting efforts even if it results in fewer majority-minority districts. The results come weeks after the Supreme Court’s April 29 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which narrowed how Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act can be used in redistricting disputes.

Democratic state attorneys general have stepped up legal and political efforts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections as President Donald Trump promotes federal changes to election rules, including a House-passed bill tied to proof of citizenship. A Heritage Action-commissioned poll reported majority support for those requirements in five states.

The flagship St. Paul, Minnesota, gathering drew an estimated 200,000, featuring speakers including Bruce Springsteen and Bernie Sanders.

Virginia voters headed to the polls on Tuesday to decide a single ballot question: whether to amend the state constitution to allow the General Assembly to draw new congressional districts aimed at 'restoring fairness' ahead of upcoming elections. The proposed maps would give Democrats an advantage in 10 of the state's 11 U.S. House seats, despite Kamala Harris winning less than 52% of the presidential vote there in 2024. Campaigns on both sides have drawn complaints of confusion from misleading ads, mailers and ballot wording.
