What's this case & what's at stake?
The right to vote is the cornerstone of American democracy and the Voting Rights Act (VRA) is one of our strongest tools for protecting it. Re-argued on October 15, 2025, the stakes behind LDF's case, Louisiana v. Callais, could not be higher. The case aims to overturn a congressional map where Black voters in Louisiana finally have an opportunity to elect candidates of their choice in more than one district by challenging the core of VRA anti-discrimination protections. This effort to weaken voters’ ability to remedy racially discriminatory maps is an affront to the communities who fought for generations to be heard at the ballot box and the consequences could be detrimental to the VRA as we know it. A Supreme Court decision is expected in 2026.
