Supreme Court Allows Louisiana Redistricting Case to Proceed, Potentially Boosting Black Voter Power.
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for a challenge to Louisiana's congressional map, raising the chances that the state will soon be required to create a second district that empowers Black voters to select a representative. The case now heads back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, a court with a conservative reputation. Changes to congressional maps in Louisiana and Alabama could reverberate nationally and boost Democratic chances of reclaiming control of the narrowly divided House.
