Supreme Court Limits Black‑Majority Districts

The Supreme Court struck down a majority‑Black congressional district in Louisiana and tightened the legal standard for creating such districts, a move that observers say will make it harder to draw enforceable majority‑minority seats. Analysts on the record estimate the change could cost Democrats several House seats in future elections. — If courts make majority‑Black districts harder to sustain, that changes the geography of representation, likely shifts congressional power toward Republicans, and elevates legal fights over race, districting, and voting rights.
