A Supreme Court decision that struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act could have wide-ranging impacts, including in Illinois.

That 6-3 ruling found the state of Louisiana’s second majority Black Congressional district relied too heavily on race when it was drawn, which critics say could effectively gut the VRA and allow legislatures to radically redraw Congressional maps.

In the aftermath of the decision, Illinois State Senate President Don Harmon said a potential constitutional amendment on redistricting in the state will not advance during the current session, giving the state’s legal team time to review the court’s ruling.
