Supreme Court Orders New Review of Washington State Voting Maps, Citing Recent Voting Rights Ruling

The Supreme Court has ordered a new review of Washington state's political maps, which were previously redrawn to favor Latino voters. The justices vacated lower court judgments and remanded the case to the Ninth Circuit, referencing their April decision in *Louisiana v. Callais*, which weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This action follows arguments from a Republican state lawmaker and voters who contended that the remedial map constituted a racial gerrymander.
