#SCOTUS blocks a North Dakota redistricting ruling ''that would gut key parts of the Voting Rights Act" until the case is heard before the court, perhaps in 2026. The evil trio of Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito would have voted against the appeal, brought by Native American tribes. politico.com/news/2025/07/24/s

@maeve that's not an accurate description of the case here.

The ruling wouldn't gut the VRA but instead seeks to *uphold* the VRA, with a disagreement over what the VRA actually directs.

The basic disagreement is over whether the VRA creates a procedure for these plaintiffs, or if the VRA was written to protect voters from organizations like this.
