On March 24, 2025, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais. The case has massive implications for voting rights and democracy, as it involves two related but distinct concepts: racial vote dilution and racial gerrymandering.  

The easiest way to separate these two ideas is to examine the winding path Callais took to end up at the Supreme Court.  

On May 14, 2025, a coalition of voting rights groups, including the League of Women Voters of Louisiana, sued against a Louisiana law which will make it more difficult for Louisianans to register to vote.
