The Supreme Court just ripped away a core American freedom: the right to a fair and equal vote in elections.

They removed a key check on abuse of power by politicians: the protection that stopped them from rigging voting maps to choose their voters.
The ruling does not change voting maps today, but it sends a clear signal that Republican legislatures are free to redraw voting maps and rig them against the will of the people.

Discrimination and exclusion are still very real in our country. The Voting Rights Act exists so everyone can come together and have an equal say – this ruling erodes that right.
This makes it easier for politicians to silence Black and Brown Americans, and harder to elect leaders who work for affordable housing and healthcare, good jobs, and strong public schools.

With this ruling, legislatures can redraw voting maps to erase hundreds of fair districts where Black and Brown voters finally had a say, especially in the South, and lock in one-party control for a generation.
