But even more significantly, the court declined an invitation to adopt an interpretation of the act that would have made it much more difficult to challenge redistricting plans on the ground that they weaken the collective voting power of Black people. https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/supreme-court-upholds-section-2-of-voting-rights-act/ Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.

Members phkrause Posted August 9, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2023 🗳️ No Labels' voting rights gambit Illustration: Brendan Lynch/Axios No Labels is trying to wrap itself in the mantle of voting rights as it works to persuade House and Senate Democrats to support — or at least stay neutral in — its potential third-party presidential bid, Hans reports. Why it matters: The latest appeal is another indication that the deep-pocketed bipartisan group is plowing ahead with plans to provide an alternative to a possible Trump vs. Biden rematch. Driving the news: In response to a push by Third Way and MoveOn to press lawmakers to publicly denounce the third-party efforts, one of No Labels' top officials is reminding House and Senate offices of their past support for voting rights. No Labels scoured public statements to find quotes or tweets in which lawmakers proclaimed their support for voting rights — which are then referenced in letters tailored to each office. The letters were sent to 49 senators and every member of the House's New Democrat Coalition and Progressive Caucus. What they're saying: "With your principled stand against voter suppression, I am confident that you would not support any campaign that threatens to stifle the voices of the people at the ballot box," wrote Margaret White, No Labels' co-executive director. The other side: "Their accusation about us is laughable, in part because their entire presidential effort is deeply anti-democratic," said Matt Bennett, Third Way's executive vice president.

Members phkrause Posted September 6, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2023 Judges reject Alabama’s congressional lines, will draw new districts to increase Black voting power Federal judges said Tuesday that they will draft new congressional lines for Alabama after lawmakers refused to create a second district where Black voters at least came close to comprising a majority, as suggested by the court. Read more. Why this matters: In blocking the newly drawn congressional map, the three-judge panel wrote that its members are “deeply troubled” that Alabama lawmakers flouted their instruction to create a second majority-Black district or something close to it. The panel directed a court-appointed special master to submit three proposed new maps by Sept. 25. The Republican-controlled Alabama Legislature hastily drew new lines this summer after the U.S. Supreme Court in June upheld the panel’s finding that the map — with one majority-Black district out of seven in a state where 27% of residents are Black — likely violated the U.S. Voting Rights Act. The Alabama ruling — and the effort to get the case back before the Supreme Court — comes as redistricting cases play out in Georgia, South Carolina and elsewhere.
