Supreme Court to Review Louisiana Congressional Map
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case concerning Louisiana's congressional map that includes two majority-Black districts, following previous rulings that found the state's earlier map diluted the voting power of Black residents. The current map, which allows for an increased representation of Black voters, will remain in effect for the upcoming elections, but its future hinges on the court's decision expected by mid-2025. This legal battle stems from a complex history of redistricting after the 2020 Census, during which Louisiana's Republican-led legislature initially created a map with only one majority-Black district despite Black residents comprising nearly one-third of the population. A three-judge panel had ruled that the map constituted a racial gerrymander, prompting the state to redraw the districts. The Supreme Court's ruling could set important precedents for how race can be utilized in drawing electoral boundaries across the country, as similar disputes are ongoing in other states.
