Louisiana signs redistricting map eliminating one of its two majority-Black congressional seats

Gov. Jeff Landry signed a congressional map that eliminates one of Louisiana’s two majority-Black districts, ending years of litigation sparked by the Supreme Court’s Callais ruling. While lawsuits could still block the plan, the move reflects a broader GOP push toward redrawing maps after Callais, with other states watching and ongoing challenges to racial gerrymandering likely to continue.
