This week, NRF-supported intervenors moved to join University of South Florida College Republicans v. Lutnick, a federal case brought by college Republicans seeking to overturn the 2020 Census. This case is an attempt to ultimately conduct an unnecessary mid-decade census. https://bit.ly/47ku2aN

🚨Today the U.S. Supreme Court is re-hearing oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais. Central to this Section case is a fundamental question about who the politicians in this country answer to and who they represent. This should be a straightforward decision for the court—uphold Section 2 of the VRA.

A federal court has reaffirmed that the VRA must be enforced in Alabama—meaning the state must continue to have 2 Black opportunity districts. Today’s ruling confirms what we’ve known all along: Black Alabamians have a fundamental right to *real* electoral power.

Yesterday, a two-week trial began in Caster v. Allen, a redistricting lawsuit that will determine the fate of Alabama’s congressional map. The NRF is calling on the district court to reject the state’s attempts to re-install a gerrymandered map that includes just one Black opportunity district.

“The conservative states behind this lawsuit are attempting to depart from the bedrock theory of the Constitution that everyone—every person—should be counted equally for the purpose of congressional apportionment.” redistrictingfoundation.org/news/eric-ho... #census
