土曜日、アラバマ州モンゴメリーには数千人が集まり、連邦議会の選挙区割りに関する近年の連邦最高裁判所の判決に抗議するとともに、1965年の公民権行進の足跡をたどった。
「すべての道は南へ通ず（All Roads Lead to the South）」と銘打たれたこのイベントでは、ジョージア州やサウスカロライナ州からの参加者がバスでデクスター・アベニューに駆けつけた。参加者らは、ルイジアナ州における黒人多数派の選挙区を無効とした連邦最高裁の6対3の判決を受け、黒人の政治的代表権の確保に向けた取り組みの再活性化を目指した。フェア・ファイト・アクション（Fair Fight Action）の主催者らは、公民権行進の記念日直後にこの集会を調整した。

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. The rulings came in the Louisiana v. Callais case and related Alabama litigation. They mark a sharp shift in the court's approach to voting rights enforcement under the Voting Rights Act.
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.

The U.S. Supreme Court last week issued a ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that dismantled key elements of the Voting Rights Act. The decision has prompted swift redistricting efforts in multiple states. Revelations about the lead plaintiff have also surfaced.
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.

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.
