  Democracy Docket 698K subscribers May 5, 2026 In a fast-tracked order, the Supreme Court let Louisiana move forward with a new congressional map. The move exposes a double standard: the same court that told Black voters in Alabama it was too late to fix an unconstitutional map is now moving fast for white plaintiffs in Louisiana, even as ballots are being cast.

WE KNOW THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE ATTACKED VOTING RELENTLESSLY & THERE ARE WELL-FUNDED ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ENDLESSLY TO DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS, PURGE VOTING LISTS, MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO VOTE.....  MARC ELIAS authored DEMOCRACY DOCKET and has been challenging GOP DISENFRANCHISMENT - follow his reports and support as you are able.
