Supreme Court Boosts Black Voting Power in Louisiana Electoral Map Ruling.
TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court has lifted a hold on a lower court case that could result in Louisiana redrawing its electoral map to create a new majority-black district. Lower courts had ruled that the maps raised concerns that black voting power had been diluted in the state. The ruling means that Louisiana may have to redraw its US House of Representatives district map to provide more representation for black voters. The case now returns to the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
