Analysis Summary
The Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act last week, and Republicans immediately began redrawing congressional maps to consolidate power — eliminating Black-majority districts across the South. Voting rights groups in four states pledged Friday to fight back through legal challenges and organizing. The timing matters: the Court's ruling removed a key tool these groups could have used to block maps in federal court, making state-level litigation their only remaining option.
