Louisana Asks Supreme Court to Gut Voting Rights Act and Ban Use of Race in Redistricting
28th August 2025
Politico, a Voice of the Crust.
The Voting Rights Act ought to have been ruled unconstitutional when it was first passed: It violated the longstanding but unwritten right of Freedom of Association and attempted to correct race-based voting by turning it upside down while still enshrining race-based voting.
Politicians always try to fix problems by applying force to the symptoms rather than searching out the root causes and dealing with them first. This is a perennial problem with ‘democratic’ governance that I guess we’re going to be forever stuck with.
