Louisiana delays congressional primaries after Supreme Court ruling on map

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry paused the May 16 six-district U.S. House primaries after the Supreme Court ruled the map unconstitutional, delaying voting to July 15 (or another date the Legislature chooses) to allow a new map; absentee ballots already cast won’t be counted, and the House races will appear on ballots without being counted, while other contests proceed and lawsuits challenge the move, with the state likely reverting to a jungle primary given the timeline.
