I just read the decision and it’s so crazy. The Supreme Court decided that Louisiana having two majority-black districts was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander *against white people.* So black people are only allowed to get one district I guess.

Section 2 of the voting rights act is practically dead, the supreme court decided this morning. The south will go back to segregation era gerrymandering black representation out of seats

Hopefully this means section 2 isn’t totally gutted though and the southern states are still required to have some majority black districts?
