The Supreme Court refused to reinstate a voting map for the Washington State Legislature that a federal judge had found discriminated against Hispanic voters.
The case arose from a lawsuit by Hispanic voters who challenged a voting district in the Yakima Valley region, which had been drawn by the state's independent redistricting commission after the 2020 census. The plaintiffs said the district violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting their ability to elect their preferred candidates, The New York Times reported.
