On April 29, the Supreme Court issued a 6–3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that significantly weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — one of the most important protections against racial discrimination in how congressional districts are drawn.

This isn't just a Southern issue. This ruling sets national precedent, and districts here in New York are more vulnerable because of it.

Here's what you can do:
✅ Make sure you're registered to vote
