Democrats are eyeing a potential opportunity to gain control of the House of Representatives if the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decides to strike down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) or rules that it does not prohibit racial gerrymandering. This assessment comes as the political landscape shifts, with a possibility of a significant Democratic wave in upcoming elections.
The current Democratic majority does not account for five Republican seats that are considered fairly vulnerable, which were included in the analysis to provide Republicans with some leeway in the electoral contest.
Recent developments suggest that the Supreme Court may be leaning towards striking down Section 2 of the VRA, which has implications for voting rights and electoral districting. For further information on this topic, see previous reports regarding the Supreme Court"s stance on the Voting Rights Act.
