Supreme Court Rejects Fast-tracking New Congressional Map in Louisiana

The Supreme Court declined to allow a federal judge in Louisiana to oversee the drawing of a new state congressional map, which civil rights groups argue shortchanged Black voters in the 2022 election. The court's decision means that the process of drawing a new map will be delayed but should be completed in time for the 2024 election. The Supreme Court action is not the final word in the case, as a separate issue is pending at the appeals court.
