On September 19, supporters of the federal Voting Rights Act filed this brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Louisiana v Callais, 24-109. This is the pending case over the constitutionality of Section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act. It had begun as a case over redistricting, and the U.S. Supreme Court already heard the case once, but wants a new oral argument.

The new brief points out that, so far, there is no equal treatment for the two sides to the constitutional issue, because of the odd history of the case. Opponents of the Voting Rights Act have been permitted to file more material with the Court than supporters have.
