Supreme Court ruling clears path for 'one-party system'

The Supreme Court is set to hear Louisiana v. Callais for a second time in 2025, a case that could gut the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 and alter the balance of political power in America into a “one-party system.” At issue is whether Section 2 of the act — which prohibits racial discrimination in voting — violates the Constitution by allowing race to be considered in redistricting.
If the conservative supermajority strikes down Section 2 or weakens it significantly, experts warn it would devastate minority political power, especially among Black voters, and cement Republican control of Congress. “This is opening a whole new front from Republicans’ point of view, where they can dilute Black political power and achieve an unbelievable power grab,” said Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action, a liberal voting rights group. “Doing so would ‘clear the path for a one-party system where power serves the powerful and silences the people,” Black Voters Matter Fund co-founder LaTosha Brown said in a statement.
The case arose after Louisiana’s legislature was ordered by a lower court to draw a second Black-majority district to comply with the Voting Rights Act. A group of white residents sued, claiming the change discriminated against them. The Supreme Court’s reargument centers on whether Section 2 itself is unconstitutional under the 14th and 15th Amendments. Louisiana has since reversed its stance — once supporting the Black voters’ claim but now arguing that Section 2 should be struck down. In a surprising shift, the Department of Justice also joined the case, taking a position against the act for the first time in history.
