Supreme Court Upholds Delay in Redrawing Louisiana Congressional Map
The Supreme Court has agreed to delay proceedings that could result in the creation of a second congressional district in Louisiana where Black voters have a significant chance of electing their preferred candidate. The court rejected requests by Black voters challenging a map passed by the state's Republican-led legislature, allowing a lower court judge to potentially draw a new map. The order suggests that the Louisiana legislature may have an opportunity to create a revised map once litigation is completed. The outcome of redistricting battles in several states, including Louisiana, could impact which party controls the House of Representatives after the 2024 elections.
