Two right-wing justices also sided with the Democrats on the Voting Rights Act.
The US Supreme Court has made a surprising decision regarding the Voting Rights Act, which could take the 2024 election battle for control of the House of Representatives to a new level, writes hill. The new regulation creates the possibility of creating a second congressional district with a majority of people of color in Alabama, but it could also affect election results in Louisiana and Georgia. With the decision, the rating of five House districts was turned over to the Democrats, who naturally welcomed the news.
This resolution will help the House of Representatives better reflect our nation’s diversity, ensuring that everyone is represented equally.”
– This was stated in a statement by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
In Thursday’s Supreme Court decision, two conservative justices, John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh, sided with the Democrats, bringing the score 5:4.
The Supreme Court’s decision could take the debate to a new level, which is whether other states should also create additional minority-majority districts, which could greatly affect the composition of the House of Representatives after the 2024 election. Democrats need only five seats to regain a majority, presumably. The establishment of circles for minorities will benefit them.
