Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

The US Supreme Court has declined to take up a case related to the Voting Rights Act, leaving its enforcement to lower courts. The decision was made without comment.

In a separate development, the court’s handling of a rush appeal in a Louisiana redistricting case has come under scrutiny from Justice Jackson, who expressed concerns about the court’s procedures.

The Supreme Court had previously reversed a ruling against Mississippi legislative redistricting, which had been challenged by voting rights advocates. The decision was made without explanation.

Additionally, the court has sent a closely watched Native American voting rights decision back to a lower court for further review.
