In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for sixty years. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: According to exclusive research by Democracy Docket, the Supreme Court’s ruling will likely derail at least 28 pro-voting lawsuits that aim to stop state legislatures from drawing electoral maps that dilute the voting power of racial minorities. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The legal cases are primarily concentrated in the South, where America’s legacy of racial discrimination still casts the longest shadow over voting rights.

The New York Times front page VRA story has the sub-headline: "The court’s conservative majority said they had upheld the landmark law, as liberal justices accused them of gutting it." You deserve better than both sides coverage. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

If Republican think we are done fighting for voting rights, fair districts and free and fair elections they are wrong. They have counted us out before only to watch us beat them in court. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote. 70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA. The Supreme Court is historically unpopular. It is not a democratically legitimate institution.
