Supreme Court to Hear Racial Gerrymandering Cases

The 8th Circuit Court upheld the dismissal of several civil rights and antitrust lawsuits, citing lack of jurisdiction and standing in cases involving privacy violations against websites. In Louisiana, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear cases challenging new congressional maps that purportedly address racial gerrymandering, with ongoing debates over the representation of Black Louisianans. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of Ghana is set to review disputes over parliamentary election results, amid claims of improper re-declaration by the Electoral Commission. In North Dakota, the Supreme Court will consider a racial gerrymandering appeal related to a legislative redistricting plan aimed at enhancing Native American representation. These cases reflect broader themes of electoral fairness and representation across different jurisdictions.
