L'essentiel

Dans le détail, Rightwing justices in Louisiana v Callais led 6-3 vote to redraw congressional maps in blow to Voting Rights Act.

Sur le fond, the Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down a Louisiana congressional map that a group of voters who describe themselves as “non-African American” had challenged as the product of unconstitutional rac….

Concrètement, By a vote of 6-3, the justices left in place a ruling by a federal court that barred the state from using the map, which had created a second majority-Black district, in future elections.

Au-delà de ce constat, the decision was the latest, and presumably final, chapter in a long-running dispute arising from Louisiana’s efforts to adopt a new congressional map in the wake of the 2020 census.

Reste à préciser que the first map that the state adopted, in 2022, had one majority-Black district out of the six allotted to the state.

Les chiffres

“In sum,” Alito concluded, “because the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, no compelling interest justified the State’s use of race in creating SB8.

Plus précisément, a group of Black voters – who comprise roughly one-third of the state’s population – went to federal court, where they alleged that the map violated Section 2 of the VRA, which prohibits discrimination in voting.

Dans la foulée, a federal judge agreed that the 2022 map likely violated Section 2, and the U.S.

À ce stade, Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld that ruling.

Le contexte

Reste à préciser que it instructed Louisiana to draw a new map by January 2024 or risk having the court adopt one for it.

À noter par ailleurs : the map that Louisiana drew in 2024 created a second majority-Black district, leading to the election in November of that year of Cleo Fields, a former member of Congress who had represented another majority-Black district during the 1990s.

Plus précisément, it was filed by a group of “non-African American” voters who contended that the 2024 map violated the Constitution’s equal protection clause by sorting voters based on race.

Dans la foulée, a three-judge federal district court agreed with them and barred the state from using the 2024 map in future elections, but a divided Supreme Court temporarily paused that ruling in May 2024.

À ce stade, the Supreme Court took up the case and heard oral arguments for the first time in March 2025.
