Rule Changes

Lost at the Supreme Court; recall motion denied May 6; trial victory and remedy order effectively voided; calling for congressional action

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on April 29, 2026, in Louisiana v. Callais. Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the main federal tool minority voters have used for four decades to challenge racially discriminatory maps, now requires plaintiffs to prove intentional discrimination before courts can order a remedy.
