A wave of voting rights battles and GOP redistricting fights is triggering a coordinated response across the South, with organizers preparing a "Summer of Action" campaign with marches that start this weekend. Why it matters: Organizers say the fight over congressional maps, voting access and political representation is accelerating in real time as states redraw political power ahead of November's midterms and the 2028 general election. - The Supreme Court narrowed the Voting Rights Act in late April, making it harder to challenge maps on the basis of racial discrimination. - Republican-led efforts in states like Tennessee and Alabama have targeted Democratic-leaning districts, particularly those anchored by Black voters in urban…
