The Court is hearing arguments in a critical voting rights case this October.
Our voting rights are under grave threat like never before, John.
While Donald Trump and Republicans in states like Texas are trying to rig the 2026 elections in their favor with racially-biased gerrymandering, the U.S. Supreme Court could “deal a final blow” to the Voting Rights Act.
We need to prepare to fight back NOW. Will you rush a $5 contribution?
For years, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court has slowly but surely worked to gut the Voting Rights Act.
Now, the Court is slated to hear arguments in Callais v. Landry, a case that questions whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is constitutional.
This part of the law bans electoral practices that deny people of color the right to vote or give them “less opportunity ... to participate in the political processes and to elect representatives of their choice” than white voters. That includes voter disenfranchisement and discriminatory gerrymandering, just like the GOP is attempting in Texas.
It’s what gives the Voting Rights Act its teeth in helping to ensure free and fair elections for ALL voters. If it’s repealed, it could mean the end of Black- and Latino-majority districts across the country, diluting their representation.
Some of the far-right justices on the Court, like Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, have already indicated in prior cases that they don’t believe Section 2 can continue indefinitely. Come October, they and the other right-wing justices could succeed in ending it.
