The 6-3 decision issued Wednesday, written by Justice Samuel Alito, effectively kills the civil rights law that enabled the nation to replace the dark days of Jim Crow with expanded voting rights for all. President Donald Trump and his MAGA backers [...] argued before the Court that the Louisiana map expanding voting rights to African Americans discriminated against white people on the basis of race."
