La Cour suprême de Virginie rejette la nouvelle carte électorale du Congrès

La Cour suprême de Virginie a statué qu'une nouvelle carte électorale du Congrès, privilégiée par les démocrates, était inconstitutionnelle, annulant les résultats d'une élection spéciale et laissant l'État avec ses anciennes délimitations.

La décision rendue vendredi, par 4 voix contre 3, a conclu que le processus de modification de la constitution de l'État enfreignait l'exigence relative aux élections intermédiaires prévue à l'article XII, section 1. La cour a déclaré que l'approche adoptée par le Commonwealth compromettait l'intégrité du référendum et le rendait nul et non avenu.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on April 29 that Louisiana's congressional map, which included a second majority-Black district, constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

Callais, limits race-based redistricting and prompts new maps in several states.

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.

Louisiana Republicans approved a new congressional map that eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black House districts. The change follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the Voting Rights Act.

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.
