After arguments regarding the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in Louisiana v. Callais last October, I wrote the likely holding striking racially gerrymandered voting districts would affect the West.

Unsurprisingly, following Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s 6-3 opinion, Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray advised Fremont County that its use of a court-ordered racially gerrymandered commissioner district violates the Constitution. Thus, while most focused on Democrats’ loss of nearly 19 southern congressional seats, all the VRA’s race-based districts are at risk.
