Reporting from Reveal highlights how redistricting following the Court's weakening of voting rights protections has allowed mapmakers to dismantle districts where Black voters previously elected candidates of their choice, reshaping political representation in states like Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Why now: New reporting highlights the ongoing impact of Supreme Court voting rights rulings on Southern redistricting.
