Supreme Court expedites Louisiana redistricting ahead of midterms
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court ruled that its decision finding Louisiana's congressional map unconstitutional should take effect immediately, clearing the way for the GOP-led Legislature to redraw districts before the midterms after Gov. Jeff Landry postponed primaries; the move is expected to yield an extra Republican seat, though Justice Jackson dissented and ongoing lawsuits loom, with potential spillover to Alabama's redistricting under the Voting Rights Act.
