Where the Voting Rights Act stands after the Supreme Court punts on a Louisiana case

SELMA, ALABAMA – MARCH 10: People walk along U.S. Highway 80 en-route to Montgomery to commemorate the 60th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” on March 10, 2025 in Selma, Alabama. A mixed group of people began their journey from the Edmund Pettus Bridge to Montgomery to commemorate the 60th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” which occurred March 7, 1965 when a group of about 525 mostly African-American demonstrators gathered at Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church and attempted to march to Montgomery to demand the right to vote. State troopers confronted the group and brutally beat them when they refused to turn back, leaving at least 17 hospitalized and 40 others who received treatment for injuries and the effects of tear gas. The annual event, which has been dubbed “The Annual Pilgrimage to Selma,” is held the second weekend of every March, consisting of a festival of music, art, and historical remembrance leading up to the “March to Restore Voting Rights” across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
