Supreme Court Guts Voting Rights Act in Landmark 6-3 Ruling

In a sweeping decision Wednesday, the Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map and severely weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the final major protection against racial discrimination in voting. The 6-3 ruling raises the legal bar for proving voting discrimination so high that civil rights advocates say it effectively eliminates meaningful enforcement of the 60-year-old landmark law.
