Louisiana v. Callais and the Future of the Voting Rights Act

The Supreme Court’s Callais decision signals that drawing districts with race in mind is now legally hazardous, whether the goal is minority representation or not. Cato’s Thomas A. Berry and Walter Olson unpack the ruling, the collision between the 14th and 15th Amendments, and why a simple compactness rule could solve most of this if Congress had the will.
