Decades of Attacks on Black Voting Power. SCOTUS Triggers Largest Wipeout Since…

This didnโ€™t come out of nowhere. This is the result of years of coordinated attacksโ€”and now the damage is here.

A new Supreme Court ruling has fundamentally weakened the Voting Rights Act, making it significantly harder to challenge racial discrimination in voting maps. What appears to be a technical legal shift is, in reality, a major escalation in a decades-long effort to dismantle Black political power. By allowing discrimination to be disguised as partisan strategy, the ruling opens the door to widespread erosion of representationโ€”from Congress down to local government. The result could mark the largest rollback of Black political power since Reconstruction.
