Louisiana v. Callais did not repeal section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. It restored it to it original meaning which had stood for over 20 years.

Nothing in the Act mentions that states are allowed to Gerrymander any Districts to a blacks only District. Because the Federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had affirmed a lower Court’s bad interpretation in 1985, states in the South created black only voting districts. No other minorities were allowed this misinterpretation /benefit.

In the case of Louisiana , under this misguided interpretation by the Fifth Circuit, the State had drawn a blacks only district, shaped like a snake, that started by New Orleans, at the bottom of the state to Shreveport, in the Northwestern part of the. State. It was so contorted and convoluted that it looked like a child had scribbled across a page. It dissected Parishes, excluding whites and minorities who lived in the same Parish and same towns or cities.

It DID not disenfranchise black voters. The Supreme Court restored equal rights and due process to all voters. And it restored the original meaning of Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Hakeem Jeffries, the NAACP the Black Caucus, Al Sharpton have not read the decision nor do they know the law. But, they mischaracterize it to scare the Black community. Now, all groups are represented equally. States cannot gerrymander voting Districts to include only blacks to the exclusion of other citizens; it’s the original words of the act and it is called Equal Protection.
