Who Are the Louisiana Voters Behind a Major Supreme Court Challenge?

[RandySF]

One woman made national news when she protested the Covid-19 vaccine at her local City Council. Another is a member of the Trumpettes, a group of women united in their ardent support for the president. A third is a retired grocery salesman who said he didn’t remember signing up to be involved in a lawsuit.

The three are among the 12 Louisiana voters at the center of a case set to be heard by the Supreme Court on Wednesday that could gut what remains of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the landmark civil-rights-era legislation.

In January 2024, the group filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Louisiana’s congressional district map, arguing state lawmakers had discriminated against them as white voters by impermissibly taking race into account when they drafted the map after the 2020 census.

Since then, they’ve been referred to in court filings merely as the “non-African-American” voters.

1. The Sick Six will find nothing suspicious about these plaintiffs.

All they care about is eviscerating the Voting Rights Act.

2. K&R - This RE-hearing from last term's non-decision smacks of gutting the Voting Rights Act,

with this delay being a softening the shock when they overturn an accepted concept the way they did Roe Wade.

So: * Will the decision be held up until June '26?

And: * if it is, won't that be too late for the regressive states to redraw the districts for the midterms?
